Quote by Paul Davies

Perhaps the best motivation for going to Mars is political. It is obvious that no single nation currently has either the will or the resources to do it alone, but a consortium of nations and space agencies could achieve it within 20 years.

Perhaps the best motivation for going to Mars is political.

Summary

This quote suggests that the main motivation for sending humans to Mars could be rooted in political interests. It implies that no individual nation currently possesses the necessary determination or sufficient resources to undertake such a mission alone. However, by forming a collaboration among multiple nations and space agencies, the goal of reaching Mars could be accomplished within a span of 20 years. This indicates that the cooperation and shared resources of different entities would be crucial in making this grand venture possible.

In describing the Mound-builders no effort has been made to paint their costume, their modes of life or their system of government. They are presented to the reader almost exclusively under a single aspect, and under the influence of a single emotion. It matters not to us whether they dwelt under a monarchical or popular form of polity; whether king or council ruled their realms; nor, in fine, what was their exact outward condition. It is enough for us to know, and enough for our humanity to inquire, that they existed, toiled, felt and suffered; that to them fell, in these pleasant regions, their portion of the common heritage of our race, and that around those ancient hearth-stones, washed to light on the banks of the far western rivers, once gossiped and enjoyed life, a nation that has utterly faded away.http://olivercowdery.com/texts/1839Mat1.htm
