Going to Mars is so 2010. Mars is too close from the Sun anyway.

Better start to colonize the kuiper belt with super mega structures, we can start with AI drones mining its resources way before our arrival.

:P

Might as well start colonizing Jupiter's moons, we can start with Ganymede, IO, then Callisto - the official name for it can be "The Rim".

oooooh.... this does sound good. But not enough far away from the Sun since we would need a maximum of time once the Sun inflation started in order to exit the solar system.

But the real question is to know if the kuiper belt has enough interesting materials to build what's required to leave the solar system which we could easily mine.

Biblically accurate Mars exploration.

The love child of a quadcopter and a Meccano set. But hey, if it works, it works.

This fly-and-roll robot sounds interesting, but I wonder how effective it would actually be on Mars. The thin atmosphere is definitely a major challenge for the flying mechanism.

I wonder if they got any feedback on the Ingenuity flights. They must have done the calculations.
