Congress feels the same way, as they’ve approved NASA’s budget and told it to go to Mars.
Considering the budget cuts the current administration is doling out, it’s a bit surprising that NASA’s budget has passed both the House and Senate and just needs the executive to sign off on it. Doubly so, really, because the last NASA appropriations bill that got through both houses passed in 2010. But if it does so, there’s a host of interesting policy initiatives. First of all, Congress wants NASA on Mars by the 2030s, which will grab the most headlines, but is a pretty strong policy endorsement for a Mars mission.
More generally, though, the bill is salted with interesting orders. NASA is ordered to track the long-term health of astronauts, explore the ability of humans to colonize beyond Earth’s orbit in general, and has been asked to build more hypersonic and supersonic aircraft for transportation purposes. The biggest question, though, is what might happen to NASA’s climate change research; the words “climate change” are nowhere in the bill.

If that video I watched the other night about some kid named Boriska and how he is from mars, humans better bring pie or something cuz there* are tall beings living under the surface. I guess it was nice at one time but there was a nuclear kind of war at some point and most all of them died and the atmosphere got ? and they had to go underground(idk how there is an atmosphere underground if there isn't one above ground but anyway). The story is like ten years old now. He also said there would a lot of death in 2009 and 2013 but of course that didn't happen. This is what happens when you get high and start watching reptilian videos(some of those look pretty convincing) and end up who the ? knows where. @rebootx1 & @Preach2Teach I'm talking to you.

I don't even smoke that much weed and like I stated in other threads I keep an open mind on all of this stuff.
