Where there's ice, there's water right? And where there's water...
Just adding more fuel to the fire I suppose.

Saw that this morning. Sounds like the reasons for not going are getting knocked down.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
I walked into work and saw this, turned to one of the news announcers and said "Do we have this story in our package?" She said no, I sent her the link and now we do.

Hmm... now that's interesting.The Mars Polar Lander was
to touch down in exactly
the right spot in 1999 and
would have undoubtedly
detected the ice had it not
malfunctioned on the way
down.
So what does that have to do with my tax money, which may be spent on such Mars expedition?Originally posted by qerlin

Let some private organization do it. The US government should give them a tax break should they take on this endeavor.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

Everybody running around in suit and tie and having titles like 'Vice president in charge of the R&D department' and dialogues like:
"CEO, sir. Why don't we take a closer look at this planet."
"Because there is nothing down there that could possibly increase our shreholder value."
And all the Vulcans would be accountants or lawyers.

I have absolutely no problem with your tax money being spent on the expedition...
