Money well spent...

“I got this powdered water – now I don’t know what to add” (Wright)

Breaking news this morning is that NASA has confirmed that the Phoenix mission to Mars has discovered water on the red planet.

It’s just cost us $457 million dollars to find traces of water on a planet 278 million kilometers away. F*cking great. Money well spent.

Surely we could have been a wee bit more productive and spent that $457 million on finding water in Africa?

Rewey,

Haven't you heard that if China and India continue their current rate of progress and consumption, that they will need 'four earths' to sustain this massive growth.

This is the real reason for exploration on Mars, more Chinese factories making goods for the rest of the world with further population explosion-ability.

We are a wasteful, wasteful lot.
