It was just a comment that Ira Flato (sp?) said in passing while talking about SPIRIT with some of the NASA/JPL folks.

I think NPR has it wrong. Of course, it hasn't even been officially announced. Democrats are also excited - another planet to tax.

I was listening to NPR this afternoon (science Friday), and not only did they talk about Jr. (bush) announcing a new moon-shot, but that he will be announcing intentions to make a mars shot by 2015.
Oh joy. The republicans must be so excited, a new planet to extort.
Cheers, James.
