Mars has water! But it still needs women.

I think this is interesting, but I doubt we'll be sending a manned mission very soon. We just don't want to spend the money. I think we'd be better off if we did, because it would bespeak a spirit of exploration and challenge that America seems to be losing. We're more interested in security and comfort. After we landed on the moon, I was dismayed that we never went back, or built a base, or anything else. If we can't do that, I don't think we'll do anything more with Mars than maybe send a manned mission just so we can say we did it.
