I agree on the planning for a Mars mission, Darkwolven, afterall what else is there to do? If I thought there was decent chance of getting to Mars, never mind getting back, I would go myself. The best plan would send 2 spacecraft, with 5 crew on each, then the 2nd crew could rescue the first if need be.
The problem is that there is no convincing reason for leaving the Moon unvisited for 30 years. What a testing ground that would be! We didn't take advantage of that. Lack of money? Not a good enough reason. In 30 years, aircraft technology went from cloth & wood toy planes to jet travel. Space travel has gone from Sputnik to the failure of the Shuttle. Somethings not right, and we are not being told. Trip to Mars? Me thinks not. I wish it would happen, but 50% of unmanned probes fail so far. Why? It's not the distance, its something else. Someone there already?
