Manned Mars Mission FAQ

Looks like I've adopted the Bush Mars Plan as my "news story" to inform my inconstant readers about. Whether or not this is actually going to happen, it's a story that has grabbed me (as has the Rover story).

Here is a nice if somehow brief FAQ from Space.com about Dubya's proposal, placed in a context. It's perhaps a little too uncritical of the Dubya plan, but it is also based on his one speech and wisely doesn't speculate unduly about the somewhat more detailed info that may be in the FY2005 budget sent to Congress in February.

Either way, I think this gives readers some useful info about the plan and about the myriad questions and debates going both among the general public and within the space science community.
