The VSE is pretty much structured on a "do this first then you can do that" basis and what Congress said (as I've understood it) is that NASA is banned from doing anything that relates <I>solely</I> to humans on Mars i.e. parts of the VSE they shouldn't be thinking about until they've done Luna.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it was merely accidental, I can't say for sure either way.Habitat Hermitnoreply@blogger.com
