It's just as easy to send humans to Mars. Easier than we make it out to be to send just spacecraft. The problem is the cost of production. We have several sub-light engines that work and could get us to the edge of the Solar System in a week or less.
But it's simply not cost effective to rapidly produce or manufacture at the moment. So you must slowly gear a society around an endeavor that large.
It's more about human capital than anything.
And as a side-note. I never claimed any of it was fake. Simply that it could be, and you honestly don't know due to your own personal involvements. I was just pointing out that most humans take things at face value from figures of authority without any actual proof or observations of their own to find meaning in it.

So basically everything is fake, NASA scientists know absolutely nothing about anything, the entire space program is a deception to fake industry into making technology and there is no such thing as communication.
Is that about the jist of this thread?

The OP doesn't believe its possible that we can send a signal to Mars, and that a signal can go from Mars to Earth, so therefore its impossible.
The OP says that scientists involved just might fake photos or evidence, so they obviously do, just because he thinks it.
Not once has he provided any "evidence" or claims to back up any statements, just basically says "well they could be lying so lets talk about it".
Yeah, this is a valid argument.

I personally believe we did send rovers to mars. It is easy to send unmanned objects into space. Now if we sent manned missions to mars, then I would question.

4. Money is always a bottom line.
It's not hard, just can't do it by yourself with our current system of economics.
Why would they accept the project for space debris to collide during travel? They have an unknown certainty of the space debris that's between Earth and Mars. How scary for this project to be accepted without evidence of space debris
