McCain Eyes Man on Mars

from Breitbart

Republican presidential nominee John McCain said that he would like to see a manned mission to Mars as part of a "better set of priorities" for NASA citing it would be more engaging for the public.

The US space shuttle fleet is slated to be decommissioned in 2010. McCain said that he would spend taxpayer dollars to continue NASA missions only if the program could do a better job of inspiring the public, as when it sent a man to the moon in 1969.
