It's too bad they stopped going there, just think where we could be now?
What with Mars found to be a right dump I think it was just a case of "been there done that" with regards to the public.and for NASA putting astronauts in space for a week or so was enough..let alone considering several months in space which must be an agoraphobic's and claustrophobic's worst nightmare.
With the nearest star ( let alone a planet) being 4 light years away we are going nowhere soon ...if ever?
