In the latest APS bulletin, Vol.35, No.1 (1990), Page 2, the VP is
credited with the following statements explaining why the U.S. should
undertake a manned Mars mission:
" Mars is essentially in the same orbit. Mars is somewhat the same
distance from the sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures
where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water,
there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe". --

Let's send Dan to Mars. He apparently needs all the oxygen he can get.
