Well, considering that I really don't think that they ever went to the moon in the first place, I think that Manned Missions to Mars will be a long ways away [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I agree totally about what you are saying about space exploration, i think we as a people need to explore space, at least we will eventually so it might be good to start now. Also the research done in projects such as this have other benifits here on Earth. (e.g. teflon etc) |

I'm all for more missions to mars and all the local solar system planets. But why do they have to be manned? It would 4fold the cost and add to the danger and bad public relations if it fails.
