Tell me how the Mars mission "Curiosity" helps the me as and American? .

It cost 5 billion alone for the uniform fuckup we had where we used bad camo we knew was bad simply because of administrative reasons.

We lost twice as much as the entire rover mission to another planet cost on the pattern of our soldiers uniforms. I really think the people that can't see the benefit of space and are that stupid shouldn't breed.

Thats all good and well if Nasa told the truth about many issues in the space program. Again why land in a burnt out crater when you have the face on mars and much better places to look for evidence of past life? So this thing will smell soil, burn it, taste it and all? but what? Buddy if you think we can terraform another planet with know active space vehicle(manned) well it aint going to happen. Nasa wasted money again. My kids need new shoes and a decent education here on earth not on mars.

Are u really this damn dumb?

Talk to the people who have 21 trillion dollars in offshore havens, or the military that spends 100 times the amount you are squabbling over this rover on.

They landed in a crater next to a mountain because the martian strata is exposed for miles up the side of the mountain. It is entirely possible to find some sign of life it exists where they landed and even then they will have a look at a huge cross section of mars' geological history.

Going to eat supper these Mars beans are alot cheaper and taste better than the ones from earth..LOL

Em hate to break it to you but the tech to terraform Mars has been around as long as nuclear power.

Kinda hard to get that planetary magnetic field cranked up and running there, skippy. Newsflash...there is absolutely no fucking way man will ever be allowed to leave this planet.

Okay first im all for mars and kit-kat exploration i really am dont get me wrong? but why land on the outskirts of a city when you can drop it right on top of a martian ancient buildin right? come on man!!!! im tired of rovers sniffing dirt then blowing it out the tax payers ass im not kidding!! Im asking about the NOW,NOW,NOW Nasa blew 2.5 billion to sniff dirt again? im all about sending rover into abandoned ancient pyramids and forts come on!!!!!! and i would love to see the rover sit on the "FACE OF MARS"

And still the best "weed" and apples still get grown here on earth. Where is the tec? Mars should have a tiny gilligans island already if you are correct? dont see it sorry.

As U.S. Military heists go, this one is fairly audacious.

Mostly, it helps you systemically. The technology developed to allow this type of program trickles into your every day lives. It keeps the USA technically superior to the rest of the world. If the space program did not exist, the Chinese would know as much as we do, and the upcoming war would be a long drawn out affair. Even with all their thievery, they know we have some pretty significant secret stuff to null out their most modern technology.

Spending these billions keeps you safe in your crib so you have the freedom to badmouth our country. You should be happy OP.

I understand the frustration "OP".

Question:
Should all science research be stopped?

I dont need a ipod-7 or a ipad-8 that can sniff dirt and has lick screen. Nasa deserves the bash it does! How many rovers? and sats do they need in mars orbit? as far as the technology you speak of???? The Chinese have the same frikin boom sticks we do and those boom sticks will blow snoop lions crib just as it will blow yours? Again this new tec you speak of? smaller chips? better puters? Chinas got em to? whats your point? Face it!! Nasa spent money to smell dirt again thats all thats it.

Love it!
