Dr. Chris McKay, NASA Planetary Scientist, Space Science Division, NASA Ames Research Center. This was a Plenary presentation to the International Mars Society Convention at the University of Maryland in 2009, entitled "Mars Sample Return, Lunar Base and NEO Missions as Steps to Human Exploration of Mars."

This highlighted debate between Drs. Zubrin and McKay precipitated creation of the unaffiliated Mars Artists Community (due to concern the Moon could become another multi-decade diversion similar to LEO/ISS if high-risks associated with space-travel are not deemed worthwhile, acceptable, and heroic).
