Can't happen! The propulsion systems that can get us there in less than a year won't be fully tested and de-bugged in time to build a rocket that could make a deadline like that! It'll be 2010 by the time we could even draft up a workable game plan for how to do it! That would mean having the propulsion system ready to start primary testing by 2011! Not enough time!Mars is not exactly close!There's a lot of space in space!

Do you even know what this story is about? It has nothing to do with NASA.

If you have time, watch the whole interview. It's a full hour and a half, but it's wonderful. This Elon Musk guy is really pretty astounding.
