Quick question:

Would you like for this to be the first Terran flag to be planted on Martian soil...

Let whoever wants to pay for a Mars photo op pay for it.

You, the Chinese, or the Mars Exploration and Mining Corporation.

But don't ask Americans to pay for your trillion dollar photo op fantasy, which will lead to exactly what Apollo led to.........nothing.

"National presitge" at a trillion bucks a pop? Not worth it.
