Why not just militarize NASA?

1) NASA's funding would then be part of military funding.

2) Marines in space.

3) Shotguns in space!

4) Find life on Mars + Declare war on Mars + Send troops to Mars = Martian colony!

5) Oops! Did we just shoot a Russian satellite? Sorry!

... more?


Everything save committing genocide on Mars sounds great to me.

Well...

We blamed 9-11 on Iraq didn't we?

None of the 9-11 hijackers came from Iraq but that didn't stop our POTUS from using 9-11 as an excuse to invade and occupy Iraq.

So why not blame 9-11 on the Martians as well? The number of hijackers from Mars is the same as the number from Iraq (zero). So why not liberate Mars, and engage in "nation building" there too? Makes as much sense. :D

I suppose it'll all come down to how smart and honest the sitting President is by the time we reach Mars.
