Ya think? :lol:
If you like this, look up a short story by Pamela Sargent called "Danny Goes To Mars":
A humorous alternate history tale in which Vice-President Dan Quayle is sent on a mission to Mars by President Bush to help ensure a Republican will remain in the White House after Bush's second term expires. But the publicity stunt goes awry when the other members of the expedition die from a mysterious illness, leaving Danny to fend for himself.
