I'm really pleased with the stuff that people are writing on the New Mars magazine that I edit these days. Along with the forum system, there's a feature which allows readers to add comments to the magazine articles. On an article written by the former NASA Mars Exploration Programme Manager about convincing the public to pay for a mission to Mars, a reader wrote the following:

"Maybe what's needed is simplicity. Next to the donation box for the cancer victim there is a box for supporting a mission to Mars. Who knows, the first person who contributes might be a cancer victim. I think for one lacking a dream or searching for one, it is those who dream them up they depend on."
