Mars Becomes Political

In a recent article in Wired magazine one devoted voter sought out to learn about each future political candidates stance on Mars exploration. "As President, would you support sending a man to mars?" they ask.

John McCain-- Short stroll
Al Gore-- Was kicked out of an event
Alan Keyes-- Eager
Bill Bradley-- Blank stare
Dick Gephardt-- Vague thumbs-up
etc.

I thought this was pretty interesting since we often talk about the many things we can do, but we sometimes don't think about the practicality of them happening.
