I wondered why anyone wants to go to Mars at all especially in view of the enormous cost and far as I can see very little real and known reward from a desolate and hostile place. I , may have missed something but haven't heard of any good bars on Mars. I have heard of a Mars Bar but only at the grocery on earth and its not as good as a Snickers.
