In the past week, Dr. Robert Zubrin, with the help of Joe Webster and Chris Carberry, authored testimony that was submitted to the United States Senate VA-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee, regarding the National Aeronautics and Space Administration budget for FY 2002 (the VA-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee has jurisdiction over NASA's budget). In the testimony, Dr. Zubrin explains to Congress why our Nation should commit at least one percent of NASA's budget (about $140 million) to a program that would investigate technologies that will be necessary to send humans to Mars. In addition to the VA-HUD Subcommittee, we will be sending copies of this testimony to numerous other members of Congress as well as the Bush Administration.
