I am very interested in Mars.  I was captivated by the Pathfinder mission and hope the rover soon get on the ground in this new mission.

If you want to see the 3d images at www.nasa.gov or the m2k4 site you can get a free pair of glasses from http://www.pulltime3d.com/ by sending a self addressed envelope the the adress at the bottom of the page.

I don't see why all the big hype about "life  on Mars." I mean, it's interesting, but not "let's-go-spend-billions-of-dollars-on-it kind of interesting"
Whatever... it's their money...

Not their money, our money. Taxes pay for the space program. Bush says it'll take a trillion dollars, waste money, it will, says I.

Or is it?... *shifts eyes supiciously*

Money is a puppet.  We are the puppeteers.  What happens to it belongs to the puppeteers.  So if it's your money, you decide what to do with it.

We AMERICANS really have no control over where our money goes. Sure, we're supposed to be a democracy, but we don't really decide anything but the politicians we want to screw us over.
Having said that, I agree that finding life on Mars is not worth speding half the country's money on. Particularly when there are so many things on earth that needpaying attention too.
I'm curious. How do people in Canada get ripped off?

I'd better stay outta this thread. It's a debate waiting to happen.

*Rolls her eyes*

Yes Canada has. But Canada doesn't have the greatest army... heehee( I live in Canada so I know). That is why we have our good ol' bigger brother America! Gotta love America!

Why do they refer to only the USA as America, what about South America?

I'd like to retract my statement.
In America, we really do have a lot more rights than other countries. I really think that we take them for granted.
I will say, however, that we don't have all the rights we say we do. And over time, our freedom has been dissapearing.
Anyone read a book called "Fart Proudly"?

You know of course that the only reason Bush is doing ANY of this is because China is attempting to do the same.  It's just a modern-day space race.  'Course, I can't say it's not incredibly cool that his advisors are organizing a manned-mars mission either...it's probably the first and only good thing Bush has ever done/agreed to.  If Spirit gets off of its base without being destroyed, THAT'S when I'll say it was a success.  It'll be interesting to see how Opportunity turns out, too.

"has canada ever been in a war"

uh... yeah...

i'm studying canadian history @ school right now and i've had enough of canadian wars to last me quite a while.

And while currently we don't have that good of a military, we do have the USA behind us, so i'm good with that.
Actually, i do recall a certain American Revolution in the 1700's or something when Americans tried to take over canada... and failed. That was when the USA was really small tho.

As typical a space program discussion has turned in to a arguement over money.  I am all far the space program and a human mission to Mars, but think the US tax paying citizens should have at least a survey on their income tax forms on how they want their tax money spent.

Canada should attack and take over a random contry, rename it toad town, move every single child and midget there, force all residents to wear huge, round, white and red polkadotted hats, and appoint a woman with a fruit for a name as leader.

You forgot the part where we hire a pumber to were a red hat, red shirt, and blue overalls,oh and speak italian. Then, unleash a turtle with a dogs name on the town. Then, the plumber, along with his younger brother who is taller than him will save the day.
