I understand NASA would like to put a man on Mars. I can get them there, easy-peezy.

Using the same type of reasoning that Trump wants to use in building his wall, it really is quite simple: we'll just deploy the new Space Force to build a bridge---say between Andrews SPACE FORCE BASE ( see what I did there?) and, oh, I don't know--- some nice level well lit spot on the Red Planet. Maybe next to one of those canals so we can eventually water ski. I'm sure that, between the RNC and Mr. Putin, we'd have our pick of a long list of companies anxious to supply the material.

Any way---if Trump can use the U.S. Army as construction laborers along our border, there should be no problem with using our Space guys and gals in the same way out on our "Last Frontier", don'tcha think?

Oh---almost forgot: MARS WILL PAY FOR IT!
