Is NASA ready to transition the Mars Sample Return Program from fluctuating estimates to a baseline commitment? Watch below or click here for more:

@jeff_foust If only someone had offered a method to perform the sample return on a much shorter schedule and at a fraction of the price. 😒

Why is it showing what looks like an abbreviated Apollo CSM (a crew vehicle) docked to Altair (also a crew vehicle) in martian orbit wen discussing an uncrewed mission?

odd media for govt org

no @NASAOIG, the question is whether or not the bean counters get shoved aside & let the engineers get to work. funding? just cut dead weight like 'socially conscious' crap, unnecessary 'studies' and then let them do actual work

One, that... looks nothing like the Martian sample return architecture, second, must we continue in this cowardice where we pretend that no modern day spacecraft exist, and continue to use generic landers for all these illustrations?
