1. well, finally something with this administration that I can get behind...

If, when he says "we" will be going to Mars soon, he means himself and his demented supporters...by all means, let's make that happen ASAP! I don't know how we're going to fit tens of millions of them into a spaceship, but I feel that it would be worth the effort if we can rid the Earth of them and their stupid ideology. Yay, Space Farce!!!1!

2. It would be okay with me if he and his administration made up the crew

For the next launch. We can worry about the rest of them later. For now, it would be good enough to get rid of their hero. Catapult him and his admin right out beyond the stratosphere.....and on to Mars.

9. Is Trump smart enough to count backwards from 10?

He's going to be commander, of course. God will be his copilot.

11. Luckily we don't have to depend on Numbnuts to do that.

We can leave that part to the Space Center. Once they are launched and headed for outer space, the guys at the space center can take a much deserved loooonnngggg vacation. I am sure tRump and tRump alone will be able to figure out what to do.

15. "Send him to Mars! Send him to Mars!"

20. Well, it is the "red planet."

3. If he and his supporters went to Mars the first thing they would do is kill Valentine Smith.

And then look for Matt Damon's potato farm.

6. I first read Stranger in a Strange Land

at 6th grade summer camp. I was coming off of a Burroughs and Tom Swift Jr. binge.

Needless to say I was not ready. My counselor loaned me the book. I have to wonder about him.

10. I used to wonder about the motives of adults who gave me certain books.

As an adult, I give out certain books.

So...well...I do have a motive. Nothing nefarious but still a motive.

12. Having children

adopt your passion is very satisfying. I was joking about my counselor. He was a decent man that I barely remember - actually only one of the few adults outside my family that I remember from that period of my time.

I could never get my girls to enjoy my science fiction books as a kid. Actually many of the books written today are better. I think the Harry Potter series is simply an amazing achievement.

13. I love the HP books.

And I enjoy it when children read books I also love....not just the HP books.

7. My kind of rapture if he takes his administration and supporters with him.

[0rganism]

8. what does it say that "Space Force" is one of Trump's less shitty ideas?

very stable genius indeed, the highest level of special

[tonyt53]

14. I hope the Martian ICE detains them then deports them.

[MountCleaners]

16. "Space Force" sounds like a cartoon

...and he loves slashing programs to bits but can find the $$$ for THIS?!?

What do we need to go to Mars for? The Rovers were great, and the pictures are amazing, but it looks like a shitty place.

This is space imperialism.

[smirkymonkey]

23. I though I was the only one who thought it sounded cartoonishly

ridiculous. History will not be kind to this dipshit.

17. How could there be Child Sex Slave Colonies on Mars, if we haven't even been there yet?

[JHB]

18. Actually, this sounds like an excellent job for a sound stage at Area 51

I'm all for Donnie spending the rest of his days on a remake of Capricorn One.

He could even have OJ reprise his role.

19. "... in one of those space capsicles. The best space capsicle. It'll be huuge.

Big enough to fit "TRUMP" on the outside in 10 foot letters. 'Cause we gotta let them Martians know who's boss."

[Nevilledog]

21. Yup
