Martian slideshow... and intent to put man on Mars by 2037...

Well, even though some of these repeat, there are several very nifty pictures on here for those who'd like to see some of the Mars mission(s)....

Mars Exploration on Yahoo! News Photos

from yahoo.com/photos, under "Science", and titled Mars Exploration

And there's this:

NASA aims to put man on Mars by 2037 - Yahoo! News

Titled: "NASA aims to put man on Mars by 2037", from AFP, datelined Mon., Sept. 24, 2007.

In 2037 I'll be 91...... Let's hope there's no delay to this mission.

Oh....my god.......that one of the Vallis Marineris, the second photo?

*drools*

Ever since I read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, I've had a very vivid image of what it would be like on Mars. I know that some people find those books very dry and boring, but I loved his vision in them.......

By his timescale, we're already way behind schedule.......

I'm terribly under-read when it comes to hard-SF, I'm afraid!

That was just a series I read when I was a teenager that really fired my imagination regarding Mars.

Mars! That's wonderful!

But shouldn't they start by sending people walking on THE MOON, in the first place?

What's wrong with fully exploring our own planet first?
