Whereas it is not a lunar landing with men aboard, it does set the stage for manned landings on the red planet.

"it does set the stage for manned landings on the red planet."

Ya but why would we want to go there? Nothing we can do there that we can't do on the moon. I would like to see a manned station on the moon and I would also like to see all the junk cleaned up on the surface.

I think the Lunar station is part of the manned Mars mission plan.

That's a heck of a long trip in an RV....

This really isn't that difficult. All it takes is the right ball bearings,a few fetzer valves and some gauze pads.

OK let's see you do it... LOL
