In light of the recent failures of the Mars probes, I'm hearing
increased talk of cutting funds to NASA, launching Congressional
hearings, and just rethinking the whole space idea and/or strategy.
Your work and perspective are highly regarded by many at NASA, maybe
even Congress. As someone with a vision of space, is there anything
you can think of to say to these obviously frustrated people?

Maybe if they'd *had* proper funding, instead of having to scrape by and
compromise things, the damned thing WOULD have landed intact.
