I've been dreaming to see this for YEARS now.

The last time I visited the "What's next?" exhibit at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum, I left angry. The exhibit starts with all sorts of promising technology including NERVA that's been mothballed for decades because "nuclear" became a bad word near the end I found a little Mars exhibit that asked something like, "Should we disturb the prisine environment of Mars with mankind's presence?" Where next? According to that exhibit, the dark ages.

I like it....now all that we need is someone with the guts to make it happen.
