American Flag on Mars

One thing Trump said on inauguration day was that he wants America to plant the American flag on the planet Mars. He said, "It is our manifest destiny into the stars." Do you think that is possible? Will it happen? Is it a good idea? Would you go on such a mission? I can't wait to hear your thoughts about this.

I am sure you are right. What do you think about Trump's statement at the inauguration?

Really? Is that a priority? I haven't watch his inauguration. Maybe I need to watch that

Trump, to me, talks a lot of rubbish but I'm sure he is serious about putting the US flag on Mars. Elon Musk will help him pay for it all no doubt.

Yes, what you put your mind to, you can do. You might fail repeatedly but someday it could happen.
