Re: Red Planet Waning? Mars Society Battles Indifference to Exploration
Stripped of the traditional space.com puffery, all this piece says is that the Zubrinites have finally realised that sending humans on jolly jaunts to Mars doesn't have the broad popular interest they've always claimed for it; & is therefore unfundable in the current political environment. Good thing, though - their wild indifference to the facts of space was letting down the program badly; & no doubt explains why this convention was the most poorly attended yet. It would be even better to believe that this admission will spread to other theologies within the MarsSoc agenda; but the Diogensian in me doubts it....
