And we have a broken Lander after 59 years of progress. How would you like to see that if you were on the Mars lander? Once was in attendance to a session with an astronaut. I recall his comment regarding confidence in mission success. He made a comment relating to hard to be 100% when all of the parts were made by the lowest bidder.

If, and that is a BIG if, we make it there I think we should turn it into an international penal colony. Putin should be first over the threshold, then politicians and so on and so forth down the line.

BTW, the book Red Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson is the best scifi book I've ever read. Give it a try. |

There are people who have the spirit of adventure and would risk their lives to experience the unknown. I say let them go for it because Earth can be a hostile place at times. It is not much different than the colonists who came to America in search of a better life. Would anyone say that they made a mistake?

Speak for yourself, we are a curious bunch of humans and can learn a lot by exploring.

I agree that humans are curious. But, why is it that the American taxpayers always get stuck paying most of the costs for exploration? Aren't humans in other countries curious enough help fund the exploration?

We always pay the bill because we want most of the proceeds. It all comes down to money, money, money in a rich man's world.
