  1. Leaving neatly packaged samples "all over" Mars waiting for a sample return mission is an interesting plan to try and convince ignorant politicians to give them the budget to DO that sample return mission. But with ignorance amongst politicians becoming more and more fashionable it's going to be "interesting" trying to get that budget.

  2. Someone complains about politics and then uses a blatantly political phrase like "leftist agenda", doesn't anybody else smell a "pre-concieved notion" or two here?

  3. We could go to Mars, but idiots left behind on all Earth will always be making dumb-ass claims jut to try and gain attention.

  4. I don't understand NASA's obsession with finding life on Mars. For one, finding it would be awful news ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjtOGPJ0URM ) But more than that, there's so many "better" things to do on Mars...y'know... like... preparing for colonisation.

  5. First time, I've seen a picture of Mars-3... fit's the Soviet "why re-invent the wheel" pattern that I've come to love: "Lunik works pretty well on the moon, so let's just stick a bigger upper stage on it and call it a Mars probe".
