Mars interesting topic, while living in CA, was fortunate enough to see

when rover landed on Mars, this was such an exciting moment to witness a part of 

history.

I have somewhere in all the midst of confusion a ton of pictures that I took while out 

in CA.  there is an actual rover tire, that was brought back and some other

odd and ends of stuff.

But, why are we spending all this money researching this planet?  What 

are we trying to prove?  we all know that there was life on Mars, and that it

is similar habitat as Earth only hotter, dryer..etc.  They have

proved there was at one time water on mars but how?  

I know there is so much left to be discovered in our universe.

I am now hearing that there is a bunch more planets in the solar system

just waiting to be discovered.  

One thing is for sure....I will not be in the line to ride the plane to Mars

when they get it going and operating
