Yet another in today's series of reposts of articles about space policy. This is another old blog post from 2004, back when the Moon-and-Mars plan was first announced. As with the previous posts, any numbers or links in the post may be badly out of date, and there are some good comments at the…
"We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth." -Astronaut Bill Anders, Pilot, Apollo 8
Humanity's ventures to the Moon have always been symbolic of the greatest things our species has ever achieved. In fact, Bill Anders, quoted above, is…
"Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity - in all this vastness - there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us." -Carl Sagan

Nice picture of the Earth seen from Mars. There is too much interest in that planet which dates back many years ago where people thought aliens were living on Mars.

Evolutionists now seem to think, there was no "eyes" looking at us for a plan of attack against the Earth from Mars...lol...Not surprising since Creationists have been saying this for years about Mars not being suitable for life.
Rover Opportunity has discovered the Mars water was a "thick brine" which is way too salty to support life. The reality of Martian life is dead, but the imagination lives on and so does wasting taxpayer's money. They need a new direction in space exploration.
