A good idea. But does it have to be strongly linked with a physical
location? It might be *useful* to have a place of operations, but the
overall goal may require us to be more flexible than that would allow.

Mars? Why not an asteroid? I have never liked gravity wells, too
little freedom.
But yes, I would happily support a project I think has a good chance
of creating a safe space habitat.
