Thats why the shuttles are innefficient as fuck. You might as well shoot a piece of shit into space and ride it to mars.

A rocket using a nuclear reactor for propulsion will be launched in 2009 or so for an unmanned mission to Pluto. This is a sign as an evolution in space travel. Hopefully soon, other means of efficient transportation in space will be made avaliable.

And as I said before, "Spirit" left earth on June 10, 2003. So just less than 7 months. "Opportunity" launched 3 weeks later and will reach Mars on the 24th of this month.
