There's a little talk on Talk of the Nation from yesterdays broadcast about the proposed missions to Mars and whatnot.  The best feature of this broadcast is at the end when Neil Conan (sp?) takes a call from a guy named Peter in Milwaukee Wisconsin who rants about all these possible missions and space ships, being bombed from space by the Chinese and How we should spend money on exploration rather than on the "parasitical" socialist social welfare programs.  I laughed so hard, I could hardly drive.

It's in the last five minutes of the segment...first half of the show.
