Cool! For the price of a Mona Lisa we get a nice picture. Of course I’m not paying for the Mona Lisa.

Mona Lisa? Is this your idea of a clever quip?

You compare a an oil painting to the historic American scientific exploration of another planet, using spacecraft and surface remote controlled vehicles that are the envy of the world, that returned volumes of scientific data, images and discoveries that enabled other mission to mars and beyond.

What did the Mona Lisa last sell for? I was thinking six or seven million dollars. Anyway I plainly said PRICE of same being compared to the PRICE of the picture.

Not sure if that’s accurate obviously, not knowing how Mars items are/if priced out individually. And there may be a discount for volume.
There is the added problem too that the bill hasn’t arrived yet.

Why no...Is it yours?
