"It is time to give the International Space Station a true mission. In so
doing, perhaps we can move the entire agency towards a focused, common
goal. Indeed, we should start treating the "expeditions" on the ISS as true
expeditions. Now that the ISS has managed to become reality we need to
refocus it - and ourselves - towards the true exploration of space. We need
to go somewhere for a change. We can't sit at home - or drive around the
block - and call ourselves "explorers". I vote for Mars."

"The head of the Space Transportation Association will call for a major
refocusing of the U.S. civil space program in testimony planned next week
before the U.S. Aerospace Commission. STA's current activities include
working in the House of Representatives to gain additional funding for NASA
space shuttle upgrades, infrastructure repair, and space science programs."
