Driving a pair of trucks over the Arctic ice-pack over 70 days, a few Russians proved the obvious; the world is getting smaller all the time. Leaving Severnaya Zemlya-a large island north of Siberia, the can-do Russians reached Canada's Resolute Bay and plan to drive to the left coast and return via the Bering Strait to Russia.
If electro-magnetic mass-drivers were made to launch pre-fabbed space modules several times a month to orbit-perhaps with small rocket boosters Mars might eventually become another, modern can-do practicality.
