One of Benford's positions is that the space station does not allow for partial-G experiments prior to a trip to Mars.
Maybe I'm missing something but it seems uniquely qualified...
Astronaut's spend 6 months on the station simulating the trip to Mars. Then a fresh crew from Earth takes them to the Moon, which at quarter-G is a fair approximation of Mars gravity.
Person's with celebrity need to be careful how they use it. Its easy to get attention now, because it invokes the image of dead astronauts.
Went to ComicCon last year. They had a breakout session on the annual state of the comic industry (a lot of dry numbers). There was one observation to be made. While it was generally accepted that the Manga industry dwarfs that of American comics/graphic novels, no effort is being made to quantify it. Its either a "dirty little secret", or the "majors" just don't care that there getting there butts kicked.
