I'm suprised no one has brought this up. What an accomplishment from the NASA team who worked on this project! My husband was very much into this, so I had to start with the "Do you know how many starving children could have been fed with the money the government spent on this??" type of stuff. I love to see him get all worked up and defensive about it.
I had a very sad realization yesterday: the scientists who are particiapting in the Mars Curiosity mission are in better shape than I am I will remedy that soon.
