Hey what if an impact caused the "watery mars"

It is a possibility that going to Mars and finding out what happened and what caused it to happen might just go a long way toward proving your argument for more study of NEA's (or maybe not...)

I guess I just don't understand your desperation in shooting down "Mars first" enthusiasts on this BBS (of which, I might add, I am not one)

Look if a trip to Mars is what it takes to get us to explore the unknown, then I'm all for it.

I for one hope they don't find life on Mars. Then we could slam a NEA into Mars as a scientific experiment! Now that would be science!!!

Of course we could do that experiment with Venus...Would it thin the atmosphere or heat and expand it? Put on your thinking cap and imagine the before and after comparison possibilities.
