Says it well. Special interest lobbys, leftist fringe protestors and other political issues prevent Zubrin's fantasy that always the NEXT president starts an Apollo type program to go to Mars, stay or not stay, whatever. I do not buy the arguement that private commercial interests are gonna get us there either.
