If borrowed government money is involved hell no!

"Why should humans go to Mars?"

Because we have to get out of the cradle and Mars is the first real step to a galactic presence for humanity.

Robots are great but they don’t do insight or curiosity.

To get pay-back...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Isn’t NASA main job now to hype hoaxes?

Don’t worry the environment nuts will ban space travel by humans else we disturb the “pristine biosphere of mars”.

Sometimes I think my wife is from Mars.

"The Hermitage" by Edward Rowland Sill, written in 1866, was first published in The Hermitage and Other Poems in 1868. The first landing of men on the Moon was in 1969. Did the following passage from "The Hermitage" have an influence on naming the first lunar module? "The Eagle has landed!" It seems remarkable that the phrase "to tread the desolate moon" was written 103 years before it became a reality. And notice the reference to Mars.

However small the present creature man, —
Ridiculous imitation of the gods,
Weak plagiarism on some completer world, —
Yet we can boast of that strong race to be.
The savage broke the attraction which binds fast
The fibres of the oak, and we to-day
By cunning chemistry can force apart
The elements of the air. That coming race
Shall loose the bands by which the earth attracts;
A drop of occult tincture, a spring touched
Shall outwit gravitation; men shall float,
Or lift the hills and set them down where they will.
The savage crossed the lake, and we the sea.
That coming race shall have no bounds or bars,
But, like the fledgeling eaglet, leave the nest, —
Our earthly eyrie up among the stars, —
And freely soar, to tread the desolate moon,
Or mingle with the neighbor folk of Mars.
Yea, if the savage learned by sign and sound
To bridge the chasm to his fellow's brain,
Till now we flash our whispers round the globe,
That race shall signal over the abyss
To those bright souls who throng the outer courts
Of life, impatient who shall greet men first
And solve the riddles that we die to know.

The nation that masters the technologies of space travel will own the next century.

I hope its our kids and grandkids and great-grandkids.

Whoever it is, our descendents will be working for them.

[colorado tanker]

For the usual reasons men set out in voyages to unknown lands, for discovery, for knowledge, for treasure, to learn how to do interplanetary travel, which may lead to who knows what?
