I'm not over-talkative. I avoid talking on topic I'm not familiar with.

Mars Exploration: Obama's Plans of Sabotage Must be Stopped
August 12, 2012 • 10:15PM



But the Obama Administration cancelled U.S. participation in the joint project with Europe, to land, rove, and collect samples on Mars. The soil and rock samples would be cached on the spacecraft, waiting for a future vehicle to retrieve them and return them to Earth. In the proposed FY13 budget, not only participation in Europe's ExoMars was endedâ€"Mars exploration funding was emasculated, being cut by 40%. To placate furious Mars scientists and an almost equally furious Congress, the White House set up a planning group, just days after the budget was released, to try to find "cheaper" missions to Mars. There can be no more "flagship" missions, in the $1+ billion range, in this "cheaper" world. A Mars sample return mission is off the table. As Steve Squyres said in reaction to this approach, you cannot answer big questions with small missions.
But now, the situation has changed. Does the American public believe that counting pennies should determine what discoveries we make in science? Curiosity has not even started its scientific mission yet, but it has rekindled a spark of optimism about the future.
