        • How do you expect people to take your editorials seriously, if you are afraid of search engines? - alcaray - 12/4/2003 9:55:51 PM
          • If you call ESA's piggy-backing some experiments on a failed Russian mission in '96 "experience" then fine. But is it an "economy of scale"? Hardly. - SpaceProjects.com - 12/5/2003 6:54:08 AM

      • Monopoly-run Mars missions without much money fail, but what about competitively bid ones? - SpaceProjects.com - 12/4/2003 9:19:52 PM
    • Can't you shut up for five seconds and just enjoy the view? (n/t) - Mars In My Eyes - 12/4/2003 3:24:27 PM
      • What view? Thanks to NASA's monopoly, none of us have seen Mars up close. - SpaceProjects.com - 12/4/2003 10:01:40 PM
