[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I presume you're refering to the somewhat over-eager reports from BBC News, among others, which appeared in stories about the apparent confirmation of vast amounts of subsurface water ice? I'm in favor of a human presence on Mars as much as any rational person. More so, even. But any such proposal is going to be met in Congress with two questions: How much is this going to cost, and how will it increase our national security? NASA's budget would have to be given a huge increase to even begin seriously planning for such a mission. And in the eyes of many, NASA's job right now should be building better survellience satellites and space-based weapon systems, and I'd be hard pressed to say that such a priority is unjustified.
