pantryslutI do not begrudge Curiosity or the money spent to send it to Mars. It's not all that much dough, it's not all that far, it's not trying to get humans into space, so I'm for it.
But my slapping hand itches whenever I see anyone try to justify its cost with "what happens when we run out of planet?" or "we may have to go to Mars someday!" That's when I want to take all the $$$ and spend it on, I dunno, solar power or something global-warming-related instead. Stop smoking those old pulp pages, folks, it's not good for you.
