N.A.S.A.’ s planetary mission’s budget has been savagely cut and it could be restored with intelligent political funding design. N.A.S.A. should be allowed to sell advertising space on its missions to Mars. If Coke, Pepsi, Google and M.S.N. could be brought into advertising competition perhaps a manned Mission to Mars could be made sooner rather than later.
Political parties also might want to be regarded as patrons of practical extra-terrestrial progress rather than as hedonist sticks-in-the-mud, incompetent economic management flunkies running perennial deficits with vast inefficient public spending on half-baked pork barrel projects, or unpatriotic kow-towers to Chinese communist party preferences to own the U.S. political landscape through D.C.'s economically servile politicians.

Why shouldn't a manned scientific research colony on the moon be named like Sports Stadiums after corporate or individual sponsors bidding on naming rights? The Republican Mars Frontier Research Station might be built with political action committee donations, or the Obama-Oprah team could name the Martin Luther King Mars Shuttle-Orbiter for a quarter billion-barely a fraction of the President’s campaign slush fund endowment as it is
More modest goals would have the Mars Curiosity Rovers of the future have advertising painted on them like NASCAR racers driven on an oval track. More modest goals would have the Mars Curiosity Rovers of the future have advertising painted on them like NASCAR racers driven on an oval track. N.A.S.A. could set up an oval track on Mars for rovers to race around before going off to do useful work, and they could have sponsor's colors and stickers.
It might even be possible to establish an oval track racing circuit for electric cars in the U.S.A. to rival gas guzzlers that don't work without an atmosphere to burn up. N.A.S.A. could test some of it's electric vehicles for the Mars oval track in the electric circuit track pace car laps in Texas, Alabama and Florida.
If funding space missions to other planets manned and unmanned is too costly for the federal government to pay for they should bring advertising sponsors on board to help get the U.S.space program out of its slump. U.S. national space leadership will fade away too soon with lackadaisical political support as the nation moves into a banana republic epoch watching the rest of the world pass it buy.
