Keep tellin'em...its PUSH gravity...give me 25 million
and 2 years and we'll pull some folks together, paid
full time, set up a redneck research facility and have
the technology they NEED ready to run with....so we
can ALL go to Mars!

It estimated the loss of the Climate Orbiter at $125
million. 'The loss of any mission is very serious, but
it's not devastating to the program as a whole.' said
Carl Pilcher, NASA's director of science for solar
system exploration.
NASA lists 30 spacecraft launches to the Red Planet by
the United States, the former Soviet Union, Russia and
Japan since1960. With the demise of the Climate
Orbiter, 19 of those have failed.
It was the August 1993 loss of NASA's $1 billion Mars
Observer mission, one that bundled weather observation
gear with cameras and instruments designed to study
the planet's geology, that prompted the United States
to radically alter its exploration strategy.

Vice President Al Gore's plan to have NASA provide
continuous, satellite-generated images of the Earth
for posting on the Internet is not worth its $220
million cost, the space agency's internal auditor
says.
A Senate Appropriations subcommittee this month voted
to fund the space agency at $13.6 billion next year,
about $900 million more than the House has approved.

Thus, as the twentieth century comes to a close, the
United States will have three spacecraft either on
Mars or circling it.

Looks like that isn't going to be true. Pitiful that
we are going into a millenial turn and still haven't
learned to control gravity or produce free energy,
can't control the weather, subject to death and
disease, destroying the planet, society falling to
pieces with random craziness....is it worth going on?
YES, it will be more than repaid WHEN we have working
alt sci technology that everyone is using, WHEN we are
colonizing space and other planets, reforesting the
deserts, rejuvenating the body, etc, etc, rave, rant,
rave...
