When are we gonna lern we're not smart enough to figure out how to keep in contact with something bagillions of miles away. Something always goes wrong. Do these things ever get recovered contact has been lost with them?

It's funny because people think the guys building these things are almost like gods. Obvisouly not as NASA screws up things left and right add another one to the list. I personally thinks it's a waste and we need to focus our attentions on other things in this nation like education and health care but spending billions showing how weak minded humans really are is well worth it.

Heres a novel idea, (inagreeance with Chris) focus on the ------- planet we live on. Work on making this one a better place, rather than trying to make a new one capable of housing humans.

i mean, even sucessfuly landing it on mars and having any contact with it is a big accomplishment, and deserves props, but yeah, it's worthless, i don't know about you, but i'm not moving to mars so yeah, the money definitely could/can be better spent on starving children that would faint if they ever saw 100 dollars, but they're throwing away billions. oh well, i usually ignore politics completely because it's all a joke :P
