Cool yes, but necessary? Seems like a lot of money that could be used elsewhere.

Kinda like McEuen eh Eric?

Actually this makes much more sense than McEuen.

I doubt the money could be spent elsewhere with this same measure of success.

Way nifty stuff, buuuuuutt… The country really does need to go on a spending ‘crash diet’. Concentrate federal dpllars on what is necessary for awhile, until the economy rebounds. When it comes to space applications I’d think the earth orbital projects deliver a lot more bang for the buck. Earth orbital science is accessible to private industry now, and augmenting that with pioneering gov’t foundational work may result in a much better and faster ROI. Finding little green, long dead Martian microbes may be of grand intrigue but not much else, except very expensive.
