You know how they have “8-minute Abs”?
Now hold on.....what about “7-minute Abs”?
Don’t you dare suggest “6-minute Abs” are possible!

“How hard is it to land safely on Mars?”
You’d have to ask a real mathematician.

What is the value of Man landing on Mars, other than giving Engineers something to crow about?
Is there an expectation of having an endless supply of some precious mineral? That has also been said about the Moon, which is comparatively in Earth’s ‘backyard’.

Nice to know 90% of NASA employees are female or ethnic. The real work is by the white males working in the labs, problem solving and building.
Cool mission, though.

We must regulate the Sun!!
Pass laws!!
I’d be happy if a small solar flare would add about 60-70 degrees to the frozen parts Midwest right about now.
No more than that. Oh, 70-80 degrees (F) more would be O.K. I suppose.
As long as I’m asking...
Sure, yeah, they’ll be a lot of melting snow and ice...........oh, floods...

Total waste of money. It would be OK if out treasury had surplus, to keep economy going with frivolous spending. But with 28 Trillion dollars in debt, this is insanity.

“Nice to know 90% of NASA employees are female or ethnic.”
Is there anything other than wrongful discrimination against white males that could bring that about? In the real world, I mean, not in the leftwad pseudo-reality.

Well, that may be your opinion, but I’m sure that man-made climate change on Earth is destroying the sun’s climate, too.
Because that’s how I feel. Don’t you feel it, too, or are you one of those horrible Trump people?

Interesting that UAE’s spacecraft “Hope” and the Chinese “Tianwen-1” also made it successfully to Mars orbits - no small task in itself.
