#4 So what the hell do you have against the Martians Uncle?

What do you mean? It's no big deal. Uncle Phester is just suggesting that we send Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, Soros, Moore, and Winfrey back to their home planet is all.

#5 ...coulda been that Roswell probe [not to be confused with a Congressional probe, though both seem to be rather pointless, done just for jollies, and end up in the same dark place].

#6 Good point Gorb. I just don't want to start an inner-planetary war. If you had gotten rid of them would you want them back?

And Proc - I think the real confusion is between a Congressional probe and an Anal probe.

#10 He's trying to be realistic but it's not practical to think NASA who are unable to really handle risk anymore would send people on a one-way mission. If NASA wants to go to Mars they will have to accept a certain level of risk, but telling people it's a suicide mission is hardly the way to build up any long term infrastructure.
