I spoke briefly this morning with Chris Carberry, the organizer of the Mars Society’s Mars Blitz citizens lobbying event that took place Thursday afternoon. The event was very well attended, with over 100 people participating. They had meeting with over 100 House and Senate offices, with roughly a 50-50 split between scheduled meetings and drop-ins. (See an earlier post about the event for more details.) And no, no one was overcome by the heat despite a high temperature in Washington yesterday of 101°F, a record high and the hottest temperature in the city in the last several years.
According to Dr. Robert Zubrin(Mars Society Yahoo E-Mail Newsletter-Aug. 8,2006), Senator Hilary Clinton is “fully onboard” with The Mars Society manned Mars program. Senator Clinton’s support is obviously very welcome.
If so, it’s a surprise to this Democrat. Politicians make promises, especially when they don’t have to keep them for a decade or so. This may be a case where you do want to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I think it’s just another promise, one after another, Donald
