Mars

Going to Mars makes me nervous. I think we are gearing up for it. Can America still do this sort of thing? Is it even financially responsible?

We have tickets for another 40 year lunar landing celebration. I think the Apollo 11 crew will be there speaking. The following came from an article I just read.

Apollo 11 is a symbol of what a great nation and a great people can do if we work hard, work together and have strong leaders with vision and determination," Mr. Aldrin said.

But he also pushed for a mission to Mars: "The best way to honour and remember all those who were part of the Apollo programme is to follow in our footsteps; to boldly go again on a new mission of exploration."

Mr Collins, who circled the Moon alone while Mr Armstrong and Mr Aldrin walked on it, said Mars was more interesting than the Moon.

"Sometimes I think I flew to the wrong place. Mars was always my favourite as a kid and it still is today."
