Treasure, treasure, our watery Earth! I'll go out on a limb and say that no humans will EVER go to Mercury, or to Venus, or Jupiter, or Saturn, or Uranus, or Neptune, or Pluto! The only good news is that we humans HAVE gone to our own Moon. We could go to an asteroid or two, but why would we? That leaves dear Mars! But, no magnetic field to shield from cosmic rays! Live underground? Well, if you are going to live underground, why not do it in the Sahara desert and save some money? But, not to be an old grouch, I do like the idea of a permanent manned (and woman-ed) base on the Moon (with nuclear power) .... just because, like Everest, it is there!
