NASA Mars Mission
by Steve Gibson, Jul 28, 2000 6:35am PDTHey neeto, NASA has released the details on their planned mission to Mars in 2003. They kinda goofed up the past 2 missions (My favorite being that metric system mix-up) but fear not! NASA is gonna spend another 400million and hopefully they'll land on the planet this time. This is just a robotic rover that will drive around on the surface, not a human mission just yet.
NASAs plan had called for its 2003 mission to be followed by further probes that eventually would bring Martian samples back to Earth for analysis. But the precise schedule and goals for long-term Mars exploration are still under discussion as part of the space agencys wider-ranging strategic review.If you call yourself a computer geek this stuff has to interest ya. Its almost as cool as scratchin yur gonads with your eyes closed and a stain on your shirt.

As of right now, we couldn't have a manned mission to mars anyway. (Acooriding to my brother-in-law, who works at JPL on the mars stuff), if we tried to send a man to mars, after the space craft left the earth's magnetic field, cosmic radiation would cook the astronaut like a piece of meat in a microwave.
Sounds pleasant.
