OK, I'll step up to the plate. I propose that we cut a deal with Australia to add it to the USA as a set of additional states. As a sweetener we provide the $100 billion needed to irrigate most of the continent with water from the monsoon region in the north of the continent. We move 30 million people to Australia, and disperse the USA government to get rid of the physical concentration in Washington, DC. These measures would provide us with much greater geographical diversification against natural disaster and terrorist attack.

Hey, it's a lot more practical than spending billions on a mission to Mars!
