When We Attack Mars

President Obama has set out a course for a federal/private space effort to get humans to Mars by the 2030s. (If we wanted to send Americans to Mars, 2016 would’ve been a better goal date.) “Getting to Mars will require continued cooperation between government and private innovators, and we’re already well on our way. Within the next two years, private companies will for the first time send astronauts to the International Space Station.” (This is the second post that Obama has written this week. It’s now clear that, after his term is up, he wants to be a blogger.)
