Mars to Obama

It is a given that our commander-in-chief has enough confidence to fuel a nuclear power plant, but must he also put his finger in every pie as well?

Take his latest pronouncement that people will go to Mars and back by 2025, the way that we currently load them on a Greyhound bus to visit Aunt Iola in Minneola. Much to the surprise of former astronauts, he is planning on rearranging NASA and the Kennedy Space Center.

"We'll start by sending astronauts to an asteroid for the first time in history," Obama said before adding, "By the mid 2030's, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth, and a landing on Mars will follow."

My questions are why and what for? Haven't we already done enough here, so why load our merry misdeeds onto a spaceship, or whatever they will be using then and hoist them onto another planet? New species of red-eyed frogs have been uncovered, the polar ice cap is melting and the polar bears are floating away, and rival gangs are killing each other off in droves. Methinks that the money could be spent in other ways or doth the lady protest too much?

On the positive end, though, if it does get that far, then we can always drop him off for an extended weekend to Disneyland on Mars and accidentally forget about to pick him up.
