Count me as among those who support the Russian initiative. And let me add another incentive to sweeten the pot. Don't think of the mission to Mars as nothing more than space exploration. Think of it as one of the best educational opportunities around, a way to captivate a generation of students and to entice them into learning esoteric disciplines such as mathematics, languages, geology and physics. I could work. It would work. It has worked - remember Sputnik? (p.s. if this actually comes to pass I want a Martian rock sample for having suggested the idea.)
