Much as it would gall me for Halliburton to benefit from it, I still favor a Mars project.

It will never come to fruition, as the necessary funding won't be approved, but I think putting a man on Mars would be the finest thing we, as a nation, could accomplish.

My two most vivid media memories are of Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon, and of 9/11, in that order. It would be nice if kids twenty years from now could watch an astronaut (preferably one by the name of "John Carter") step on Mars.

Our government has to provide us with protection against those who would harm us, but there are times (as J.F.K. recognized) that it must provide us with inspiration, as well.
