Happy M-year!

I still have a shirt, crafted for me by *expert* shirtsmiths, depicting the first picture we got back from Spirit.

May we get there in my lifetime,

If I may misquote Gertrude Stein

"There's no there, there." I see no reason to send people, the payload weight is better used for machines to do research and exploration. Unless we come up with a better way to travel faster.

Have you read "A Step Beyond?" C K Anderson. Pretty decent Sci Fi, well grounded in good science, on a Mars Expidition.
