"It's not NASA's job to send a man to Mars. It's NASA's job to make it possible for the National Geographic Society to send people to Mars."- Simberg
All the public cares about Mars is when someone will step foot on the planet, as if living vicariously through an astronaut is better then watching it happen through Hollywood's lenses. As Americans who are putting tax dollars towards Mars we need to ask ourselves why the red planet is so appealing.
Why goto Mars?
Because it would be totally sweet. Not only could we learn about our sister planet, we could learn about ourselves. We could also learn more about space propulsion because there needs to be a more time efficient way of getting there.
