Welcome to Mars, you tinytoons

Good news today. Men have reached the planet that has undoubtedly been the landscape for most of our deepest dreams and nightmares. However by means of artificial hardware, it actually leads to thinking in terms of "people colonising Mars". Moreover, we can at a glance watch it right on the TV set. A larger leap near God. It is really, really wonderful. Once stated so, one must think of costs. What about the necessary investments on research and development that has been made? Millions, Billions, even more. Apart from success, it seems clear to my mind that something could have been spared to fulfill poors� needs, to research on aids, cancer and other growing diseases, to improve humanity all aspects situation. It is a pity one cannot stop thinking, imagining, recalling. I was just beginning to enjoy our human science step into the future, when the present suddenly reappeared with its horrid smell of human lackings. I cannot say more. Well, congratulations to NASA, governments and so forth.
