MartiansHave we EVER been invited to another species party? We're the gate crashers of the fucking universe...
While I am fascinated by the whole space exploration thing, I am just a little disgusted by the price tag.
2 point 5 BILLION dollars?
In this economic climate? With so may people going through such hardship?
I don't know if it's worth it just to find a few signs that some lifeform might have been there in the distant past.
Oh, pfft. Srsly.While I am fascinated by the whole space exploration thing, I am just a little disgusted by the price tag.

I think the point is to determine why Mars is no longer the planet it once was. We know there was water there at one time, but it is not known what happened to it. The answers could have ramifications for the future of earth.
Sure, MARS can have a sky crane. We can't even have flying cars.
Even so, we are talking about changes that likely took place over millions of years.
We have time to get around to looking at those questions.
But right now, when the US (for one) is adding debt and people are genuinely struggling because services are being cut, it doesn't make sense to me that the govt can't find a few million for a hospital, but can easily send a mini to a planet.

That's a fraction of a percent of what the US government wastes every year.
Mars gets all the cool shit.
At one time there was a plan to send a space submarine to Europa. It would melt through the ice and then explore the ocean underneath.
How fucking cool is that?
And here we are with not even a jet pack or rocket skateboard.
All waste pisses me off a little.... but this is a very visible expense.
There'd be more than a few people hearing about this, and wondering why it's more important than a new ward at the local over-crowded hospital or better teacher training or even a new soup kitchen.
Yeah, right?
In other news, some old fart says Area 51 was real. Of course, thugh, he's hawking a book.
You've never actually been to the US, have you?
