Cost of Sending 11 Missions to Mars = 1 Mission in Iraq
This little blog post made it big with lots of links and Diggs. I found it really insightful and it puts things in perspective.
Basically, if we didn't go into Iraq, then we could have funded somewhere between 5 and 11 independent human missions to Mars! Independent means "Mars mission programs that start from the ground up, and do not leverage each other's technology, research, or manufacturing."
