You misunderstood me. I don't think there is a need for a second LRO only that if Tom feels there is he should make the case for that. Not converting MRO to a bad LRO.

Tom's purpose is to screw with Mars Science not to improve our understanding of the Moon. He says as much at the SFF Return to the Moon board several times.

He is also for some reason desperate to find someone to debate Mars vs Moon as lame and pointless as that would be. What he reallly is arguing is NASA should drop everything Mars realed and focus only on the Moon. I can see where some government funded research needs to be done at the Moon to aid industries move to using it's resources. The difference is I don't want NASA in the roll Tom see for it.

Anyway they both are needed for humans to sustain themselves in space just as asteroidal materials and orbital colonizes reasonable could be.

Searching for life on Mars is not as simple as you seem to believe. You need to read "The case for Mars" by Zubrin and "Mapping Mars" by Oliver Morton as a start.
