Already, the enormous cost of going to Mars is causing space icons like Buzz Aldrin to recommend radical action.

If NASA and its partner agencies are serious about putting boots on Mars in the near future, they should pull the plug on the International Space Station (ISS) at the earliest opportunity, Buzz Aldrin said. "We must retire the ISS as soon as possible," the former Apollo 11 moonwalker said Tuesday (May 9) during a presentation at the 2017 Humans to Mars conference in Washington, D.C. "We simply cannot afford $3.5 billion a year of that cost."

    What is the cost of 65 million Americans on food stamps? What is the cost of Obamaphones?

    I don't often disagree with Buzz, but in this case I must. He is old and still thinks $3.5B is a lot of money. It's not. In fact, firing just one democrat saves that much.
