Mars-Base ... Space Soap Opera? ... Nuke the MOON (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Right, so, this dream is long and crazy. I'll piece it together as best I can. The first part involved some unnamed guy having developed, or discovered, a teleporter to and from Mars. It worked very cheaply and harmlessly. This guy and a bunch of his friends are going to and from Mars trying to set up an infrastructure and base there. I tag along at some point to see how it's going, and it looks very much like a town on Earth (with a vaguely Western-movie-style decor, might I add). They already have buildings up, nobody seems to need spacesuits, and they have electricity and computers, and cellphones. And they somehow have a wireless network up for those. That one still confuses me... At some point during all of this, I talk with one of them and they're almost giddy. "The best part of this is," he said, "NASA doesn't know about this yet. Wait till you see the looks on their faces!" Also at some point, they were discussing trying to get some grass planted, and I mused aloud whether it would be cooler to have a lush yard on Mars, or to have that alien-looking red dirt in front of your house. Towards the end, I was telling my friends lightheartedly that they were great and all, but if I could sleep on Mars tonight, I WOULD.

This second part is fuzzy, and I think I'm only an observer. I see short bits of a lot of people's daily lives, nothing too exciting going on. I assume this is on the same Mars-base, but I'm not sure. Somewhere in the middle of all this, there's a military guy that has that "only the audience can hear you" power. He motions to the guy next to him and rattles off a name and designation that I can't remember. Then he says something like, "He seems pretty normal, right? Well, one time I went out with him, and...." He fades out as I see more people going about their daily lives. This was pretty short and disjointed, but I swear it sounds like an ad for a soap opera, looking back.

Finally, at the end, I'm telling my little brother Jared about how you might get some oxygen on the moon... only I use the WORST possible option imaginable! My faulty logic went something like, "Well, if you set off a nuke somewhere on the moon, with all those elements colliding and bouncing around you're bound to get SOME oxygen out of it! Then you just need to place a roof over it..." Yeah, completely worth the total destruction, right? I confuse myself sometimes... anyways, that's all I can remember.
