have $78,000? YOU can explore Mars today!

[Lord Zombiac]

Martian Telepresence Inc.,
Now you can explore Mars from your desktop! Our company has simplified the Martian rover to a light weight unit that will essentially place your personal webcam on a remote controlled vehicle on the surface of the red planet!
This lightweight payload will be delivered via standard equatorial satellite launch rocket cheaply into orbit. The next step in delivery will be deployment of the transit capsule's laser propulsion receiving sails.
These sails are targeted by our orbiting "Charon" satellite which presently has only one targeting laser but will in the future be able to propel multiple transit capsules simultaneously.
Our breakthrough computer technology allows the transit capsule to use its own guidance system to fire small rockets to place the capsule in orbit.
The landing pod will now engage, by far the most complicated and expensive piece of hardware we've developed except for "Charon" itself.
You will then be able to control this remote vehicle and be the first to examine sites never before explored or seen by any human being.
All for the modest price of $78,000!
Be the among first armchair astronauts in history to explore the red planet today!

I rather use my money to build my own theme park, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the park.

'Here you sit in your little holes running your little experiments, making things like kids with a chemistry set in the basement, while the whole time an entire world sits outside your door. A world where the landforms are a hundred times larger than their equivalents on Earth, and a thousand times older, with evidence concerning the beginning of the solar system scattered all over, as well as the whole history of the planet, scarcely changed in the last billion years. And you're going to wreck it all. And without ever honestly admitting what you're doing, either. Because we could live here and study the planet without changing it - we could do that with very little harm or even inconvenience to ourselves. All this talk of radiation is bullshit and you know it. There's simply not a high enough level to justify this mass alteration of the environment. You want to do that because you think you can. You want to try it out and see- as if this were some big sandbox for you to build castles in. A big Mars jar! You find your justifications where you can, but it's bad faith, and its not science.' Anne Claiborne on Mars
