McCain wants to put a man on Mars:
Presumptive Republican White House nominee John McCain said Thursday he would like to see a manned mission to Mars as part of a "better set of priorities" for NASA that would better engage the public.
McCain said one of his favorite books as a child had been Ray Bradbury's 1950 novel "The Martian Chronicles," about humans colonizing the Red Planet.
"I am intrigued by a man on Mars and I think that it would excite the imagination of the American people if we can say, 'Hey, here's what it looks like.' "
Remarkably, this was not from The Onion.
I love how his entire concept of the solar system beyond earth comes from Ray freaking Bradbury novels. He might as well have said that he was inspired while watching a rerun of The Jetsons.
Future headlines we can expect to see:
"McCain: Robots should be doing kids homework by 2015""McCain wonders why the hell we don't have flying cars"
"McCain backs 100-year cyborg occupation of Iraq"
