The mars rovers are still going strong. 150+ days after their official mission end, they are still doing great science. Clearly well worth the investment.

The cracks in this image are now thought to be mudcracks.

Best...probes....EVAH!

Any presidential candidate that said they were going to quadruple our space exploration budget would get my vote. We should be manufacturing planetary probes, solar probes, anal probes, comet, asteroid, and lunar probes off assembly lines and launching one every week. The cost is great because we make so few...NASA does a nice job in creating cloned missions in case of failure but we need even more.

A probe for every planet and planetary satellite in our solar system by 2010 would be my slogan!

I agree Winnow. Our greatest hope lies in exploring our solar system and making more huge advances in science, medicine, etc. due to the space program. Now all we have to do is find a way to create an atmosphere.

That's not enough. I said 4Xs!

Plus I have zero faith on him actually following through on anything. Kerry has probably announced a 50% increase in every area of the government. He also plans to add an entire division to the military.

Didn't Bush announce tax cuts in spite of the government being broke? Two can play the make-the-money-up game!

I don't have any faith in Bush either! I'm an atheist!

STOP!

This is not a politics thread. Just be happy and look at Voro's backyard.

Isn't it liberating to detest every politician equally?
