Do you think that we should return to the Moon or go straight to Mars?


This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11, lunar landing.
Since then no human has left Low Earth Orbit.

Once again there is talk about NASA returning to the Moon.
However, groups like Dr Zubrin's Mars Society would prefer us to skip the Moon and go directly to Mars and create long term habitats there.

It is claimed that both can be achieved within a decade.
If given the choice would you prefer us to settle the Moon or go directly to Mars?
