We all have our personal opinions.
Most have their own personal reasons to find out more about Mars. For some reason some people don't like that, try to stop that from happening. I see strange metallic looking rocks and so do a lot of other people. Slings and arrows are in the air but the suffering of these must be done. In this case grief is expectable or good, so I must say: I agree with you: "Good grief Jim". And there is the chance you see only in a 2D world. You must know I do not mean this as a attack you nor am I making fun here, it would describe the difference in our differing observation. Or it mite not.
