Default Re: Oil on Mars?

The question really would the cost in rocket fuel and other mission costs outweigh the profits to be reaped by oil on mars. Of course there's also the scientific implications as well. If you find oil you have some evidence of possible life on a planet other than earth. A statistical improbability to the extent of being not even plausible, but not yet an impossibility.

Wow, interesting to see we're all on the same page cost-wise.
