Seems NASA is ready to go again . . . .
They are about ready to step back into the fray to develop space programs, hopefully programs leading to exploration by people throughout our solar system. Wish they would get on with it. Get out of the way, Congress. Let science progress. Sign in to see full entry.

Expedition to Mars will be Expensive.
Why not commercialize the trip to at least help pay for it all. Mars Bars would be an excellent and most appropriate sponsor. Didn't Tang make a lot of money off the earlier space shots? There are bound to be innovative ideas to tie corporate advertising and marketing into paying for the space... Sign in to see full entry.

We need to elect more scientists to public office
We need to kick ourselves into gear regarding the exploration of space, our entire universe. The keys to secrets of existence itself, with the subsets of energy, health, resources, society and longevity are hidden almost literally "in the stars." And I am not speaking horoscopes here! Each time we... Sign in to see full entry.

More and more information from Mars . . . .
The rovers are working hard, sending more data daily. It appears there was a large ocean on Mars that could easily have supported life. I would love to be able to visit and look for fossils! Can you imagine the scientific treasures, not to mention mineral resources, that mars has to offer us? Let's... Sign in to see full entry.

Exciting Discoveries on Mars:
As you've probably seen by now, the one Mars Rover has discovered that Mars was likely a place life could have survived because of the presence of water. It does not, apparently, exist there now, but could have in the past, probably the distant past. We need to get a manned mission with scientists,... Sign in to see full entry.

Apparently the Mars Rovers are sending back some beautiful photos from Mars
Now I am awaiting the real data regarding atmosphere, water content, geological probes, biological experiments, etc. to find out more about Mars. True, it may be months, or even years, before all the data is released; scientists take their time, and rightfully so, to get the facts. Still, I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Donate Your Coats to the Martian Rover
Apparently one of the Mars rovers shut down for a day or so because some of its components got into the shade of one of its own antennas, shutting it down from the cold. Apparently, when the sun warmed the area a day or so later, the components warmed enough for the rover to restart. Shall we start... Sign in to see full entry.

Editorialists against exploration
amaze me. they see, excuse the cliche, no further than the ends of their noses, and they are certainly no Jimmy Durante! Their short-sightedness is a harmful characteristic. Explorations into space require huge investments of money, that is true, but they are investments in the truest sense of... Sign in to see full entry.

Second Mars Rover lands safely
Now we are onto our second succesful landing on this most recent mission. We really need to encourage Mr. Bush and the Congress to step up space exploration. In the long run, it can only benefit us all in many ways, including financially. Going to space is an excellent investment. Sign in to see full entry.
