Gawd, I'd love to watch this landing. However:
It's at 1:30 Monday morning, and I have to be at work at 7. Maybe I'll nap Sunday and stay up all night. ****ed up sleep patterns FTW! http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/participate/ |

In a recession and spending 2.5B on this. Makes sense.

At least it was spent on an American project, and not aid to Pakistan.

Let the record show it was at least the 5th post before someone posted a comment that science and engineering is a waste of time and money.

Okay, let's get this over with: it is your opinion that space/Mars exploration should only happen when we are not in a recession?

Of course, a long-term project like this or the Interstate Highway System or whatever will likely transcend short-term economic fluctuations. It's probably more for local governments or maybe state government. If I was building a library or airport or something that takes five years or less, I'd want to use this system if I'm a smart local government. The challenge, of course, will be holding on to your resources during the good times without making it look like you're hoarding. If we trusted our government and if our government really looked out for our money, it would work, but I'm not sure that either is really true.
