He has an excellent point but he is also the representative of an organization that is promoting man to Mars.

When you are pushing an idea that is not exactly at the top of anyone's agenda and is controversial in it's own right, it is probably a good idea to be non-controversial in areas that might hinder broad support for your cause.

Zubrin has promoted broad support in the past by welcoming to the Society anyone willing to sign on. Anomalists and Eco-nuts are welcome.

This is obviously an emotional issue with Zubrin, as it is with most of us.
