It's not that we can't, we just choose not to. Just as we chose to go to the moon. I understand the romance of sending humans to different places, but what will we actually gain by sending people, rather than robots, to Mars? I know I sound like one of THOSE guys. I used to want to be an astronaut. That's why I got my degree where I did, but now I'm not seeing the practical purpose anymore.
I hope that kids will stop asking us if we build Battlebots and start asking us if we build Transformers. To that, I will answer with a resounding yes. - Madison [more]
