A couple of questions

[MarcoSpace]

<p>Hello everyone, nice website, a ton of information! But I have a couple of questions I cant seem to find the answer to anywhere. </p><p>- I am looking to invest in space. Are there any venture programs out there looking for some cash in order to speed up their plans for something related to space? And by that I am mostly interested in looking for tourism related projects. Does it exsist? Am I to early?&nbsp;</p><p>- I dont get this, why did they make the Phoenix not move? What if there is nothing interestings to dig for, but they can see a very interesting area with the camera? Why on earth did they not put some wheels on the damn thing, its stuck there, and can only dig around itself.&nbsp;</p>

<p><font size="3">That question was asked of one of the scientists on NASA TV. The answer is in the pictures we've gotten back. If you look around, one spot is pretty much like the next one-- and they knew that from satellite photos before hand. </font></p><p><font size="3">I think you will find by the results so far that&nbsp;we are in a prime spot, and since they can only use the ovens on the spacecraft 8 times. there really isn't any reason to move.</font></p><p><font size="3">I understand what you are really saying though: I'd love to see another MER jumping off of Pheonix and heading out for those hills in the distance!</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font size="3">Aretis</font></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="4" color="#0000ff"><strong>Aretis</strong></font></p> </div>
