The Mars Society uses the relative accessibility of presidential candidates during the primary phases of their campaigns in order to ask the candidates about their various policies regarding sending a manned mission to Mars. The Mars Society has 7,000 members worldwide. Getting those running for the presidency to discuss a potential Mars mission is one of the Mars Society's goals when questioning the candidates. Many Mars enthusiasts are apparently unsatisfied with current American space policy, due to how long it will take humans to reach Mars, at the current rate of legislation.
