Let's slingshot around the Earth and Mars a few times, and land on a comet!

Unreal!

"Also in 2004, the European Space Agency's orbiter Mars Express has sent back evidence of water in ice at the Red Planet's south pole."

Copied from the article's last sentence. Kinda makes me wonder why we recently spent multiple millions to explode a device and attempt to find water vapor in the plume of the explosion. The above says we knew in 2004 there was water on Mars. Does our government even know how to tell the truth any more? Are there so many private agendas that it looks like chaos from the 100,000 foot overview? Rhetorical question, please do not generate un-necessary responses.

I wonder what the real reason was for sending the bomb to Mars? Of course, at my level of ignorance I wonder about a lot of things, and wander in general.

It makes me happy that the greatest minds on our planet are working for the US government,
the leader of the Western world , and that Australia , as part of the Western alliance ,
plays a small part.
