Oh.. and don't mention:
a) the radiation exposure en-route;
b) the atmosphere is unbreathable, ie. when you run out of oxygen you're dead AND you will need a space suit;
c) the climate is subzero; year round; the cold will get you next;
d) there is no water, run out of that and you're dead soon after;
e) the available energy from sunlight does not meet the demands necessary to keep a human alive (ie produce oxygen, water and heat);
f) "Terraforming" is a fantasy;
g) there's no way to return to Earth.
Reality check, pullease.

This lady is already preparing by eating juicy insects ..crickets ants etc.. a Fine life indeed.
