Is there life on Mars?

It’s certainly possible and our fascination with the idea is now deeply embedded in our culture.
The USA spends 28 billion a year on space exploration. I can’t find accurate figures for the whole world.

Whilst in terms of the US budget this is not a big number, it certainly would feed and house a lot of people.

So as we enter the brave new world of “reality” I wonder if the US and other governments will look at where their money goes and whether they are spending it wisely.

If we have to choose between people and other things shouldn’t we be focusing on people??
Space exploration, saving whales, rescuing bears, protecting the Pohutukawa, the list goes on and on, may have to be put into perspective for a change.

At a time when we must look after the poor and disadvantaged the Greens are concerned that the government buys fuel efficient cars.
Fortunately the Government can ignore such drivel as they don’t need the Greens support but I really believe the days of this sort of thing are numbered.

Politicians that focus on pet projects that have little genuine value will surely fade into obsolescence, soon I hope .

Why am I commenting on this?? Well because I was thinking about it obviously but also I think we need to focus on what is really important in our own lives as well. We need to prioritise life so we do whatis important. I meet so many men in particular who wish they had:

Spent more time with their kids when they were young;
Made their marriage work first time round;
Found their parents and been reconciled with them before they saw the death notice;
What will your life look like when you look back, regret or thankfulness??
