I Love Mars, and I Vote

Chris Carberry, political director of the Mars Society, is a motivated man determined to see through his mission: to find out where each of the presidential candidates stands on Mars.
The Mars Society is a nonprofit group that pushes for human exploration and settlement of Mars. Mars Society members like Carberry attend presidential campaigns in order to ask the question: "As president, would you send a man to Mars?"
In the last two presidential election cycles, Carberry met every major candidate. "He took a short stroll with John McCain, and got kicked out of an event by Al Gore's secret service contingent. He got a surprisingly eager response from Alan Keyes, a blank stare from Bill Bradley, and a vague thumbs-up from Dick Gephardt. Now, with the 2008 primary campaign well under way, he's on the trail again."
