60 Minutes on the Return to Moon and Mars

This week, 60 Minutes did a report on NASA's return to the Moon and Mars, which you can view here. The reporter seemed to be a strong supporter of the initiative, questioning why it is not being funded further, without (in my opinion, as a non-Moon or Mars studying Astronomer) examining the larger effects of NASA's drive - for example cutbacks on Earth studies and in other Astronomy programs. I'm very curious to hear your opinions on this program and the 60 Minutes coverage. Please email or leave any comments you might have below. Thanks a lot.
