You do know that Spirit and Opportunity are unmanned spacecraft? With
your
rant about dangers to crews I wasn't quite sure you knew that.

I wonder if they said that about Christopher Columbus. He lied you
know.
Never did bring back spices from India. What a waste of dollars that
could
be better spent in Spain. (or was it Portugal?)


NASA. 17 deaths. (Did you forget the Apollo 1 ground failure?)

How much is space exploration worth in terms of blood, sweat, and tears?
It's an obvious question.

If 17 dead is too much, then the automobile should be banned, sexual
intercourse should be stopped, and all agriculture should be stopped.
Farming is not safe.
