NASA Plans On Bringing Back Martian Rocks
FortKnox writes: "In this Y! article, NASA is planning on sending a robotic mission to Mars in an attempt to bring back Martian stuff (rocks, soil, etc...). Looks like its a tough mission to plan for; they are calling it 'Apollo without the astronauts.'" I would like to go to Mars in person, but if they're spending my money already, I'd like them to please use robots for a while.
I'm making the first post!

Those who would trade mars rocks for earth rocks deserve neither mars nor earth rocks.
How much are they spending on the missions? I'd imagine it to be somewhere in the billion-dollar range. All for a pile of rocks. Way to set your priorities straight, Dubya.
Forget about threats from biological and nuclear terrorism.
Forget about the millions of hungry urching starving on the streets of our major cities.
Forget about our third-rate education system, which is lagging behind ALL other first world nations.
Forget about the influx of illegal Mexican immigrants flooding in from Mexico and robbing hard working Americans of their jobs and livelihood.
Forget about the fact that our military is NOT ready for a war that we have already committed ourselves to.
As long as you get your shiny moon rocks, everything will be okay.

Search earth, then the red planet.
They hide under rocks.

PRIORITIES? How about the fact that more people die every day from WORLD HUNGER for no real reason? Or do you not care about 'what happens to people over there'? Out of sight out of mind. YOU should be ashamed of yourself. Where were you before the WTC attacks? You were not posting information about the people dying from WORLD HUNGER!!! Why are you even here then?
The biggest cock in United States history is right above my balls, and you people are trolling Slashdot. How does trolling Slashdot help my cock get sucked? My *GOD* people, SUCK MY COCK!
On August 3, 1997, I decided to castrate myself. At 3:30 pm, I started to prepare my scrotum and testicles to be removed. I banded the scrotum at the top just below the penis. I used rubber bands. (I should have used an elastrator to band the scrotum but since I didn't have one I improvised.) Next i took ice and packed the scrotum and testicles so that I wouldn't be in pain as in prior experimenting with banding them it was extremely painful.
Pedantic fuck.
Pet martian rocks would be cool. Bring one back, paint a clown face on it, and use it as a paperweight.
Hasn't anyone thought of that? Self-inficted germicide by techno-arrogant humans?
That'll teach us.
If NASA wants to bring back soil and rock samples, they should try to get their robots to dig up the multi-million dollar Mars lander they buried so deeply in the martian soil a few years ago. It should be plenty full of rocks and soil.

I'd like Jon Katz to go to mars in person. 3 years w/o Katz.
;)
Just make sure that IPN isn't implemented yet.
there!
