So you think individuals should have put Curiosity on Mars rather than a government program? Just joking but also pointing out that some things we agree need to be done require resources an individual couldn't provide. That's the problem with self-reliance, it is also contingent on cooperation. I knew a fellow once who just wanted to live in the woods in a cabin with his rifles and Toyota pickup. He never thought about the fact that he would need a government to establish that he alone had the right to the cabin and surroundings, people to build and repair his pickup, drillers, tankers, refineries, distributors and Tom Thumb to supply his gasoline, petrochemical industry to supply tires, - - - He never realized how many thousands of cooperating working people he depended on. That said, I'm glad Curiosity is there to study Mars. I look forward to its discoveries. Now, if we only put the same thing on the Moon - - -. David for payback in knowledge CONSIDERING:

Had European explorers, Chinese, Native Americans crossing the Bering Strait, there would be no US or North America. Who knows what there is to find on Mars? And every landing brings us closer to the day when colonies and habitations on Mars will be viable. The problem we have today is that people are so hung up on social programs that this nation can no longer be great. History is going to give us a correction and I hope it isn't like the one that brought down the Soviet Union because of the massive size of their government and their wealth redistribution but the US can't continue to spend untold billions on lazy people and people who have this entitlement mentality. People need to have some self reliance and make themselves great and not expect the government to do it for them. If we got back to that maybe we could put a man or woman in space again and not have to have Obama pay the Russians to run a taxi to the space station.

It is a great step in the right direction.

I'm sure God provided everything on Earth that we need, IMHO. Though it is cool to explore space, I think we could spend the money elsewhere and have better/faster benefits.
