I'm not saying it's a bad reason, I'm saying the odds of that succeeding in a reasonable timeframe - say in the next 50 years - are just nonexistent. What I'm saying is that there is no way anyone would convince enough people to make this project even examined, hence the project is doomed. The adventures of the last millenium are vastly different - I think you'll give me that, after all they had air to breathe and water to drink - and so the comparison is at best irrelevant. Also, I didn't imply we would need to carry everything there. What I said is that the project would need support from earth for dozens of years (and a lot of them) before the colony could survive on its own. During this timeframe the whole thing could fail at any point and the goal of self-preservation would not be met until then. Those are the reason you will have trouble convincing anyone of doing it. At last, my example of humans being unable to preserve their own climate is just here to illustrate that if noone (or let's say not enough people) cares about our planet, how are you going to convince them to care about another? --- oyunlar

You're still looking at it from the outside. I negotiated sponsorships with corporations in a past life. There is a significant failure rate - some ideas seem good at first glance, but just don't work out. Pepsi realizes this, and isn't heartbroken when money is spent on testing an idea. It is unlikely that this is a "failure" to them. In fact, the vast majority of sponsorship ideas go nowhere. People who are not familiar with the process think that the large corporation just gives you a ton of money to have their name somewhere in small print in the background. It just doesn't work that way. The lower profile the event, the more exposure they will want to squeeze out of you. If you don't like that, just produce the project yourself. http://www.hasoyun.net/macera-...
