This isn't the whole column--there's also a piece on when the Jewish Sabbath begins in orbit, and a bunch of letters about last week's column on the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese space program.

>>What's Next?
A Greenpeace boat full of Ecofreaks in spacesuits, circling the ocean, preventing NASA spacecraft from landing on Mars.

Sorta similiar to the plot of a science fiction novel I'm coauthoring( can't give any more details) and yes I'm coauthoring because I can't write worth crap.

In a word, yes.
There are stories of various oil reservoirs replenishing themselves from unknown sources and that lend credence to the theory that 'oil' is left over planet making stuff.
IF these observations and theories are correct then 'oil' should be equally plentiful on Mars. That's another good reason to go there.

No wonder there was no news from the press conference we have been waiting for since 22 May.
This was supposed to be the day this whole mission to Mars busted out in a big way.
Well, guess what. It broke anyway, and NASA is out of the loop. Fire O'Keefe.
Say what?
Fire O'Keefe!

I'm coauthoring because I can't write worth crap. Maybe so, but you ask a lot of good questions.
To: RightWhale
Why fire O'Keefe? There was never going to be any announcement about a Mars mission this week. That was just a rumor spread by clueless reporters (probably at the BBC).

They're preparing lawsuits as we speak... our very presence there will cause catastrophic Martian global warming, resulting in the melting of the ice oceans and destruction of Martian life as we know it. < / sarcasm >
To: NonZeroSum
O'Keefe is a beancounter who might know where the beans are but has no interest in developing outer space. His assignment is to get the agency's books balanced. The mission of the agency doesn't matter to him.
To: RightWhale
Thanks :).

I don't agree.
But he knows, as you apparently don't, that vision is useless if you can't manage a program competently, and demonstrate it to the people who provide the funding.
