| The upcoming Mars Science Laboratory mission should make for great viewing, as well as great science. JPL just released this nice animation. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=1001 A camera mounted on the Curiosity rover will provide video of the descent. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/news/whatsnew...ews&NewsID=1020 Remember the Apollo lunar ascent videos? If only they could get a similar surface perspective of the rover landing, that would be a ballet worth seeing. |

It would be great. But it's not going to come from America any time soon. Not from a gov't more interested in war than space. Not in a debt economy that's run it's course. Maybe you can get Gates, Jobs, the Waltons, the Sultan, Soros, a Rothschild, the Facekid, and a couple of rich brutal dictators out of a job to fund a private mission... Otherwise it'll likely be Europe/Russia/Japan/China/India doing the big stuff, which we'll be indirectly funding  |

| Instead of seeing photos from the most expensive resort ever constructed, I’d much rather see slide shows of much more interesting locales. For the price of a couple years hotel maintenance, we could get close-ups of places such as this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Jupite...ssion_-_Laplace |
