Save Mars money for Earthlings

President Bush has proclaimed it a national vision to once more send human beings to the moon and to use the moon as a springboard for sending human explorers to Mars.

Those dollars can be invested more effectively to help us walk better on the planet earth.

We need dramatic breakthroughs in alternative energy sources. If we don’t produce them soon, we may have to go to Mars because earth will be unlivable.

We need cures for a number of debilitating diseases and the research is inadequately funded.

The needs of the earthbound are as infinite as space itself.
