Once we get there, then we'll cut spending.

Yeah right. Another republican full of crap.

Mars *******

Would be kinda cool to relocate all the liberals back to their mother planet. The moon is still too close for my liking.

Maybe we can buy Martian dollars while we're there. They'll soon be more valuable than U.S. dollars.

"Those views are shared by some other fiscally minded Alabama Republicans — Republicans whose districts include NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. "

Big surprise. Let's cut everyone else's programs. Those in their own states should be expanded.

Going to Mars is dumb, what do we do when we get there? Let China take the money we're paying them in interest and go to Mars. They're smaller than us, so they can build a smaller space ship which uses less fuel, less food, water, etc.

Many of the problems arising with a process known as wasting. With no gravity, by the time you get to Mars your muscles will be all but gone. They need to develop some sort of technology that simulates gravity.

...but other than that, screw Mars.

Do people realize that because of orbital mechanics, the present NASA plans for going to Mars involve "one way trips"? In other words, we send Astronauts to Mars, and they stay there and "live off the land."
