Only a Moonbat would support a MSR

Mark,

I guess unlike you I actually want to see humans sent to Mars to search for life. A MSR is a very poor substitute and only uses up resources that are better put towards human missions to Mars. And if the sample was returned successfully by robots it would just set back the timeline for a human flight.

If it doesn't show life existed on Mars then public support will lag and if it does folks will worry about astronuat safety. If there is no MSR then neither lose-lose outcome will happen.

That is why the only one that would advocate or even support a MSR would be a moonbat who wants to find some way to undermine the biggest reason for humans to Mars, namely searching for martian life. Maybe you should attend the Mars Scoiety convention and learn how much better it is to send humans to Mars to search for life instead of robots, no matter how "safe" robot missions are for sample return.
