NOW I KNOW...
Now I know why I think John McCain is the right man for the job!
"...John McCain said Thursday he would like to see a manned mission to Mars as part of a "better set of priorities" for NASA that would better engage the public. At a townhall event in Florida, the Arizona senator was asked about funding for the US space agency's shuttle program, which is due to end in 2010. He said he "would be willing to spend more taxpayers' dollars" to continue the program but argued that NASA must do a better job of inspiring the American public, as when it sent a man to the moon in 1969. McCain said one of his favorite books as a child had been Ray Bradbury's 1950 novel "The Martian Chronicles," about humans colonizing the Red Planet. "I am intrigued by a man on Mar
s and I think that it would excite the imagination of the American people if we can say, 'Hey, here's what it looks like," he said. "We know that now, and here's what may be there and let's all join in that project. I think Americans would be very willing to do that."..."
This is a man who gets it! He won the Mars Society Vote!
Space is our future! The only way humanity is going to survive is by going off planet and exploring the universe, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before!
For those of you who don't want to spend the money, well, it's like this. The only part of the Federal government that actually gives a return on our investment is NASA. For every dollar spent on NASA anywhere from $10 to $25 goes back into the economy,
both local and in communities where
prime and secondary contractors are located.
