Any breakthroughs on that flight to mars plan for 3 billion?

The people at NASA were already to get started, and even abandoned the Hubble in anticipation of the ribbon cutting for the new project. Any word?

1. They are only getting $150M a year in additional funding

which will make a great vinegar and baking soda propulsion system (it's a sham -- won't happen)

2. You might recommend the air over water rocket motor

3. Too much money. That's three weeks' of Iraq occupation cost

and who has money for anything besides occupying Iraq and tax cuts for the rich?

4. This war in Iraq has already cost more than all of Project Apollo.

Even when adjusted for inflation.

5. Aren't they purging employees at NASA?

Making room for the new Mars project.

7. With the 300 billion spent in the Iraq Quagmire

We won't have any money left for dubby's imaginative projects. His Momma will have to get the flash cards back out. 2-3 equals negative 1. Oh gees, dubby will never grasp that. Let's forget it before it ever starts. We no longer have that kind of wealth.
I love space exploration, but right now with this clown in charge, we have too much on our plate.

8. It's being used to fund a new Jerry Bruckheimer film...

...about a mission to mars.
