Zubrin has had his day. Manned exploration of Mars is in the new NASA planning spirals. Best bet now is to support NASA, and of course to advocate withdrawal from the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty and establishment of property rights.

Argh. I see spots before my eyes every time I read something like this. Zubrin didn't create Mars Direct; he was merely one - rather disliked - member of a team of a dozen or more at Martin Marietta that created Mars Direct back in the early 90's. What Zubrin *did* do was promote it... and himself.
