Congress may prohibit NASA from working on Mars exploration today. Legislating science policy in Congress is a poor idea in general, and shackling NASA's work on Mars at this time makes no sense to me. I believe NASA's Mars work would spawn some of most important scientific (a separate genetic tree of life?) and engineering (engineering long-term sustainable closed-loop ecosystems?). Mars is why I became a scientist, and now we may once again return to the mid-1990s, when entire sections of some NASA Centers had to be padlocked for years because it was illegal to do any work related to the human exploration of Mars. Please call your Congresspeople today, as NSS invites you to do in this link.

The Overview Effect conference was an amazing breath of fresh air within the space community... Not at all just about making a buck or getting off this rock-- the vibe and the discourse was more wholistic (verging on spiritual?), and absolutely about creating the best possible future for our species and our planet.
