Can we start with Hillary and Bill? Spartano said send humans to Mars. I'm not sure those two qualify. Fire those creatures into the sun, that would be more appropriate. I think the Sun could take it. :)

I hope we can send humans to Mars in our lifetime. Wet Blanket here: a crew can be sent to fly by the planet or even to orbit it, but a landing is out of the question. The opportunity, political, economic, social, passed over a decade ago.

If Hillary and Bill get to Mars first, then we lost the space race, and the communists won. Now, I understand why they call Mars the red planet.
