Serious question: I remember seeing a post of this person who only had months to live. He/she mentioned that they felt like they were the one's having it easy while the people around them are the one's suffering. How do you feel about this sentiment? I can't imagine what it's like to face possible death and to survive it, so of course congratulations on making it and sharing your story!

Thanks for the reply :) Congratulations again on getting better, and hold on to that positivity! Hopefully your experience can change your perspective on things in the long run (atleast one of us can become a better person haha)

My question is: What makes colonizing mars more appealing than colonizing the moon? I.e. the moon is obviously closer to us than Mars, so why not focus our efforts on the moon? Or is the atmosphere or gravity of Mars more appealing than the distance advantage of the moon?

By the way thanks for your guys' time with this AMA, it really helps foster the public's interest and garner their support for space exploration :D
