George W Bush wants to send a man to Mars

Sources say George W Bush will encourage scientists to prepare for the mission in a decade's time, allowing the costs to be spread over a number of years

yea it says his father planned it in 1989 but was stopped due to high cost

And George W. has nine perfect candidates for the Mars mission---Dean, Clark, Gephardt, Kerry, Lieberman, Sharpton, etc.
