Re: Red Planet Waning? Mars Society Battles Indifference to Exploration
Interesting article. I pretty much agree with what Leonard David had to say. Thanks, Alex.
I would think it's obvious interest would cycle to a lower level with this kind of "war" being fought and many people suffering from a down turn in the economy. NASA having problems left and right doesn't help either.
But, if the next set of rovers successfully reach Mars' surface I think things will be a bit better.
I went to the convention (which might be held next year in Eugene, OR) and the Air Travel was just a busy as before 9/11/0.1
BTW Chris McKay had a talk on a Montgolfeire Balloon Mission which was very interesting...
