re: The facts on the public's growing lack of desire for manned Mars flight
This is a direct result of this administration and it's insistent need to have public opinion manipulated, in this case it would be it's belief that humans are the center and pinnacle of all life.
Going to Mars is a act of freedom. (exercise this or loose it.) Why is this being played down, why is the fact that Earth is not the center of life in the universe ignored?... Answer; Means a much smaller head trip for the powers that be.
