Is it true that a manned mission to the planet Mars is being planned in/around the year 2016? If so, what about our moon? I mean I remember hearing scuttlebutt about a "moon base" but that seems to have fizzled. If mankind can't even build a base on the moon, who in their right mind would take the time out of their lives to travel to the planet Mars, & for what reason? We've already photo mapped the planet & it's appearent that there is nothing of intrest let alone value on Mars for mankind. Sound like another government scheme for $$$$ in some peoples pockets to me. Whats your take on this as this would have to be a SPENDY project?
