At some point in the near future - we will be witness to the Red Dragon Mars Direct Sample Return
Let me say that again...
Red Dragon Mars Direct Sample Return.
A Totally Autonomous Mission to Test the Waters of Mars Direct and
get something in return.... MARTIAN BITS !
So, it's probably a good time to REMIND the politician peeple Things that:
"the purpose of spaceships is to travel across space and explore new worlds...
not to hang out in space and study the health effects of doing so..."
( Robert Zubrin - Nov. 2003 Committee on Space Exploration )
So - the TMRO Channel puts out MORE Space Info in one episode than
Washington does in 30 years.
