A very interesting (yet compact) interview by ReasonTV with Robert Zubrin, one of the greatest advocates for a manned mission to Mars:
For reading:
"You're saying that you're going to give up four billion
dollars to avoid a one in seven chance of killing an astronaut, you're
basically saying an astronaut's life is worth twenty-eight billion
dollars," says astronautical engineer and author Dr. Robert Zubrin.
Zubrin, the author of a popular and controversial article in Reason's
space-centric February 2012 Special Issue, argues that the risk of
losing one of the seven astronauts who repaired and rescued the Hubble
Space Telescope was well worth it. "If you put this extreme value on the
life of an astronaut...then you never fly, and you get a space agency
which costs seventeen billion dollars a year and accomplishes nothing."
NASA's role, according to Zubrin, should be in the pursuit of
ambitious missions such as "opening Mars to humanity," rather than a
bloated, safety-obsessed bureaucracy. "The mission has to come first."
