  1. NASA should be totally privatized. And this Dr Z is so arrogant. Merely adapting existing remote controlled drone technology to the lower air pressure and lower gravity of Mars is nothing like the innovation of the Wright Brothers. It is not even as amazing as Blariot's first powered flight across the English Channel, or Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. It even pales in comparison to Mcready's Gossamer Albatross and Condor human powered flights from Crete or across the Channel. Even the Montgolfier's baloon flights were more revolutionary. Putting semi-autonomous robots on Mars is amazing, but this drone achievement is nothing compared to these other pioneers of flight. Dr. Z is quite arrogant. Privatize NASA.
