Jackie Mason '08 Vlog 38 Going To Mars

[Glinkaism1]

This is knee-jerk science. It goes back to Jarrin' Jack "just-for-kicks" Kennedy with his "We choose to go to moon" for pure bullshit reasons. Easy to say when the sheeple's money is there the spend.

All NASA stunts are porkbarrel politics. This is one of the very worst wastes of hard-earned taxpayer monies.

[medliberty]

We have to go to Mars even though we know there is nothing there because that's how the big defense contractors make a lot of money and they need all that money to bribe, err I mean "contribute to", Congressmen and Senators.

[VanKlaunch]

I find this funny and entertaining, even though I completely disagree! How is that possible? Anyways, having a multi-national shared goal of reaching/colonizing a planet, whether competitive or collaborative, can have a unifying effect on the world. Wars wouldn't matter so much if all eyes were locked on the heavens for the transcendent sake humanity's celestial future. Through unification, problems dissipate. Also, knowledge of Nature leads to beneficial control of it.

[REDTEAM22003]

Jackie Mason plz stay be kool and stay in skool....your jokes on mars isnt funny and made you look like a big jack ass. we wouldnt have a lot of things without the space program, go google that up old man

[VonHelton]

LOL!

Jackie, your bustin my balls over here! We gotta go to Mars because they say we're over-populated! Besides, there's diamionds on Mars, and who don't like diamonds?

:D

[inala1made]

what have u been smokin?

[graffitiguy9000]

i like it

[HAZIDEAD]

Jackie, I am so appreciative of your FREE entertainment!! Live forever.

[scaryflakybiscuits]

Jackie's a legend. He just cuts through all the crap and gets to the point.

[Raquelota58]

There is absolutely no reason to go to Mars, it is not going anywhere! In a hundred years it will still be there.

So why not try direct all funds to help mankind catch up with technology.

We still cannot control the border or redirect the puny minds of girls who want to get pregnant out of wedlock to collect welfare and have someone to love them.

We need to clean our house before we go elsewhere to "make a difference:!!

[JRBeaman]

Raquelota58: "So why not try direct all funds to help mankind catch up with technology".

Uh, where do you think all the great technology comes from? The Space Programs! DUH.

Clean your own house, why ask the government and the rest of us to do it for you?

[goldkhw]

What about Tang? Memory foam? We got that. It wasn't worth it.

[bedhead51]

I grew up watching Alan Shepherd, Glenn et al go into space. But people, lighten up! Jackie is a comic! Laugh, get the chip off of your shoulders and enjoy this for what it is.

[VonHelton]

Laugh, get the chip off of your shoulders and enjoy this for what it is. ^^^

Exactly. I'm sure Jackie is just jokin around.

:)

[Zucca101]

Jackie, Jackie, Jackie...

I agree with you on many issues, but not this one. Absolutely not this one. We've gotten many benefits out of the Space Program. Those satellites that help keep our country safe aren't a side-effect or a peripheral benefit. So don't lay down that line of honkey, please.

Do your homework before launching on a tirade.

[100flyingfish]

you are a entertaining man

[utoobsta]

loved it!

[asshowl]

this is rubbish, jackie mason you are dumber than a parrot.

[johnedwards1968]

Being awfully hard on parrots aren't you? :)

[Fortruecool]

I just want some Tang

[NormalPeopletoo]

Umm...

[orlando2day]

mars would be too hot for me, can't we travel away from the sun

[Thisguynext5]

I like the google mars program...

[iftheskyfall]

it would be amazing to find life on another planet

[justthisonce2]

i may be completely wrong here, but most rockets don't use much oil, the primary fuels are chemical

[goldensurfer212]

mars will never benefit earth it's too far for anything feasible to some off it

[wholeylover]

yeah with the prices of oil now!!

[weaveme07]

who really cares about what's on mars

[craxkofdawn]

did anyone else view the video response to this vlog? i didn't know it was still so messed up in the south. have we really just forgotten about that part of our country?

[dontmakemego2]

personally it's fascinating to know what else is out there, even if we are the only life forms (which i doubt) the other planets and galaxies are so beautiful.. i wish we could fund the program more

[caniquitnow]

but nasa invented the foam in my mattress, i couldn't live without that

[joeyvitelli]

i want a martian slave

[hellacoolgal]

if the good lord had intended us to be on mars he would have put us there to start

[asshowl]

well he didn't put the europeans in america, so what the hell are you doing there?

[wrapitaroundme]

but when we do find life on mars how will we protect our borders from them?

[ithelpedmeout]

I want to know between the billions of dollars in Iraq and the billions of dollars spent outside of our atmosphere, what have we to show for it?

[OneItch1]

I want one of those mars robots. So F*ing cool.

[imadeeighty]

you probably are a mars robot

[getoutofhamtown]

I say let mr bush go to mars....

[OrganizedTrain]

No, it was Flash Gordan. 10 years from then.

[psycheyouout]

seriously this country is wrong

[youdendupalone]

wait, was the US really first to mars, I think there is some wrong information here

[Toofewtoo]

Didn't they have single celled organisms in the ice on mars?

[Georgewuzz]

can someone find me a deal on sending my wife to mars? she doesn't need any water. .

[eyecandothat]

mars looks like Afghanistan

[48theSear]

I'm going to spend MY money on cocoa puffs. To hell with the elderly. I'm coo coo!

[callmeinsane2]

i thought we were trying to see if humans could live on mars so that when we destroy this planet we have a possible refuge

[pennsherk]

we should spend that money on health care

[ticketboy8]

I always considered the space program a kind of neutral issue. I mean it's progress... science... what the hell do I know.

[difficulty99]

Whats so great about space anyway? It's empty and dark. It's cold but takes a long time to freeze anything. You're always getting some sort of strange radiation. Sure, it might be beautiful, but so is Gillian Anderson. I vote I take mission to see her. And by see I mean...

[WerethePerfect]

I don't care. I still think exploration is awesome.

[CANITdot]

This is so confusing...

[mosquewatch]

Mars is more than likely owned by young Palistinians. Look at all the rocks on mars....

;)

[charlessmyth]

Wear rose-tinted specs and the Negev looks just like Mars, only billions cheaper to go visit. No shopping centres, but it's not discouraging the Israelis :-)

[henry34florida]

Tell all the starving people in Africa that going to Mars to search for life is more important than feeding them.

[Ken9284]

When Bush goes to Mars lets make sure he stays there. Bush fooled many people.

[poiute346578]

Going to Mars is all I have to live for JERK!!!!!!!! Thanks for ruining my day prick!!!!!!!

[uogklie98]

Jackie my father is from Mars and I do not appreciate you saying we can not visit him, how dare you insult my whole family?

[redfhioppljy]

Maybe we should send Amy Whinehouse to Mars, she can rehab there hahahaha

[ghkllyrde457ujgdq]

I agree with polyt, talk about broadcasting yourself!

[macncheese98]

"The Mars we had found was just a big moon with a thin atmosphere and no life. There were no martians, no canals, no water, no plants, no surface characteristics that even faintly resembled Earth's."

-- Bruce Murray, recalling his reaction to the Mariner 4 results in his memoir, Journey into Space: The First Thirty Years of Space Exploration

[christina8647]

Surely one of the most marvelous feats of the 20th-century would be the firm proof that life exists on another planet. All the projected space flights and the high costs of such developments would be fully justified if they were able to establish the existence of life on either Mars or Venus.

[yari87656]

I bet you look sexy in a spacesuit Mason

[poiyt567890]

Wow 138 videos of hearing you talk a load of shiiiiiit is disturbing!

[TheUltimateJew]

it's a free country, I can talk and you don't have to listen...have a nice day

[poiu7890076]

We should send all the idiots who want to be President and those that so adamantly support them off to Mars

[jmelf80]

So trueeeeee why do we need to go to Mars, don't we have enough weirdos here on earth to deal with!

[newmanpi1]

I think that this is a very funny routine.

Some people are in space and never leave the planet! Jackie you are one spaced out dude.

Very funny !! keep up the great work. I am already looking foward to the next Broadway show, hey maybe it will be with Barbara Striesand and Cher. To make it really exciting start selling the tickets now for the very first show on MARS!!!!!!

[searchparameters]

Sycophants

[onemorethingsir]

Perhaps the Martians are advanced but are deliberately hiding from us because they've been studying our behavior on this planet for many years, maybe the last straw was observing the race between Obama & Hillary, then they probably thought we had no redeeming qualities as a species & therefore it was wise to keep their distance from us!

[Auggie56]

I don't think man can survive the trip. Radiation, the loss of bone and muscle from zero gravity, over a what, eighteen month trip. It's not going to happen.

[edwardpf123]

Jackie is right, space travel is nothing but a big waste of taxpayers money! The only valid reason for us to be in space is for defense purposes.

[hartnell114]

theres water,and ice, shiiiiiit loads of ice lol, and they think life might be there,i find it funny how in the past 50 years,they wenr from little blue men in cities 10miles high,to absolutly zero,now they say it might be there,only so so tiny that we'd never see it lol,great,thanks experts :)

at least we got to see another planet...first.

[CottonO]

A hundred billion dollars and now we know Mars looks like Saudi Arabia, only prettier.

[smartman43]

u right jackie wat we need top go to mars for its retarted

[TeaeetLove]

Good points as always Jackie!

[PortJew23]

I don't know. I agree with Mr. Mason. I mean there is a lot of waste in government programs in general, but what good is exploration if people cant eat?

[planesick324]

Finding more about the origin of the universe is important. It's a scientific issue. Those problems are social issues. No comparison in my eyes.

[Sergedane]

If I had a ticket to mars, that would make me so happy...

[Poploxer33]

Oh god... I almost wretched... They came in red, white, and blue stripes too.

[rightCDhead]

Come on! Space stuff is great! What would we do without freeze-dried ice cream!

[placidpass789]

I don't know. I still think space is pretty cool.

[mosquewatch]

JetemPolo , Where I live people have been put in temporary homes full of formaldahyde. I've lost my home, everything I've known and loved over the last 38 years of my life is wiped out. I don't give a damn about "going to mars." Can you honestly tell me spending all this money on space is needed ? I can bring you to an old man in Biloxi that still lives in hell, that would tell you different. Everything is upside down.

[WhyWouldWe9]

Some of those issues (world hunger, prescription drugs, etc.) already have a ton money (not saying it is enough) that is tied up in bureaucracy, mismanagement and corruption. Killing the space program won't solve these things.

[Molliepet]

1. pics you show ..highlight 'green' (moss, grass?..certainly not green sand or rocks)

2. water..=life

3. is it really nothing there..what would they say landing on our pole of our planet..doesn't mean nothing there..just not seeing it..

4. Yes, we need to spend much more to take care of our own but I wouldn't discount the space program because many of our ideas for gadgets we use now came from ideas for exploration in space (think of that every time you use your microwave..)

[JetemPolo]

What about deep sea exploration?

[PiouLazze4]

I think that amount of money people think we spend on the space program is grossly blown out of proportion. I mean it is a lot of money, but compared to the costs of some programs that do not even produce anything (vs new technology... or used to be until cuts) it seems kinda of crazy...

[overthe168number]

Jackie- I love your videos, but I am really surprised by this one. you are a learned man, and I am shocked that you think that exploring the new is wrong... It sounds like an obama thing to say

[henry34florida]

Once again Jackie, I agree with you 100%! They are wasting billions of dollars searching for life on Mars, but yet here on earth millions are dying from hunger, abortion, and disease. Use the money here.

[triggsy80]

Earth will one day be consumed by the Sun, Mars is being explored & explained because one day Humankind will have to colonise another planet in order to survive;-)

[flrs80]

Of course we should go to Mars, men are from Mars, women are from Venus remember

[oblivion292]

I personally think America just wants to prove that we are still the best in space exploration and other technological advances... but it isn't completly wrong to say that all the billions we as tax payers spend on these programs is a waste... especially at a time where our economy isn't the strongest.

[hewashugeonthefloor]

Isn't exploration of the unknown what makes this country great?

[demohr777]

3rd!!!

[abcmole]

With the choices we were given for President, I'm ready to move to Mars.

Obama, McCain no way... I'll take Marvin the Martian instead.

[jewishprincess4]

What if there was water and life there, wouldn't you want to find out?
