I mean I guess I'd give him his "Mars Colony" merit badge.  Even by 1911 Boy Scout standards he's making a solid effort.

    Yes.  He's nuts.

    He'll solve the problem of delivering a colony to Mars, but has
    anyone solved the problem of how they'll actually survive on Mars?

    We've had trouble with building closed ecosystems on Earth, where
    the temperature and pressure are survivable and the air is
    breathable.  Shouldn't they experiment with a colony in Antarctica
    or Death Valley before they worry about launching it all to Mars?

    Or is the hope that solving one piece of the puzzle will create a
    will to solve the rest of it?
