Mars question?
OK, we've sent several probes and landers to Mars in recent years. We're looking to find out if Mars once had liquid water and possibly harbored life.
My question is, why do we care? Will these answers help us in any way?
Aren't we wasting time and money, when we should be sending tanks full of anaerobic bacteria and genetically-modified algae to produce an oxygen atmosphere on Mars? Wouldn't NASA be better off actually producing some tangible results rather than just spending money on reconnaisance?
