GREAT excitement was caused when an exploration vehicle landed on Mars.
The plan is to find if the planet once supported life in some form or another millions of years ago.
Perhaps we should be using the billions spent on space exploration on finding a planet which could support human kind when we have destroyed planet Earth.
The vast sums could be spent on reversing climate change here on Earth before all life forms are obliterated.
It is the future generations of all life on Earth that will suffer destruction if we do not start making a huge difference NOW.
