Sciences > Sciences (Other) Thoughts on Mars: Past goals and future exploration

What troubles me about the U.S. Governments attempted exploration of Mars,is that just like the misguided invasion of Iraq.George W.Bush's desire to explore Mars,is driven by his bizare,fundamentalist,religious beliefs.It's a Historical fact that in the times ofthe Roman Empire,the ancient Romans prayed to what they believed ...
