'Red Dragon' Mission Mulled as Cheap Search for Mars Life
any opinion on this? would it really make sense adapting a manned spaceship to unmanned Mars landing? I am skeptical... if replying, please remember forum guideline 1.5 |

We have to be patient and wait until September for the juicy details. Is it going to be just a demonstration lander with short term batteries? Will it be more long term and deploy a solar panel from one of the hatches? Experiments? I'm not so patient but this sure is exciting and is doing this for a fraction than if it was stand alone start-from-scratch government mission. I'd love to see a trip or two to the Moon as well.
