A sponsored manned mission to Mars?
http://www.space.com/10819-mars-priv...d-mission.html
What a pathetic idea. The U.S. is broke so it now intends to let corporations pay for its space exploration? Will the astronauts be government or private commercial representatives? Why not just amend the Outer Space Treaty to allow private ownership of (parts of) celestial bodies? That alone would spur enormous commercial interest in space and would be far more durable. Once the TV rights have been sold for the first mission interest would probably wane. A cheapo one-way colonizing mission to Mars would be worthwhile under commercial flag since the government could distance itself from it once the lonely settlers start broadcasting pleas for rescue. |

EXCELLENT OUT OF THE BOX THINKING! and sell one lottery ticket to go along for ride obviously a apollo like effort would get funded, so this is likely the only way, or wait and let china do it.... |
