Chuck, i think everyone is saying we need more R&D before a Mars Mission is possible. if you are waiting for spaceships the size of battleships, well i wonder who us disconnected.
This is the disconnect I mentioned with Joe. You all are talking about
missions in the short-term. I'm talking about developing technology first. The mission hardware will be cheaper and better as the technology improves. The current missions planned could be cut way back and the money put into R&D instead. I'm in no hurry to hear biology reports from Europa or similar. It will happen when the time is right. 20, 50, 100 years from now, no worries.
