Another Mars Blog
Joost Schuur has a blog titled Martian Soil. He takes more of a news-oriented approach, capturing all the latest news items related to Mars. It's so good, I've added it to the sidebar.

Men on Mars, coming soon.
Mars Landing slated for 2012
Exciting news for the Manned Mars Landing buffs. Despite garbled communications the Rover is our best bet to get data for our manned landing. "It will be a push to get us up and out of earth's orbit and on to the business of going where no man has gone before, but now we've found methods to do it on the cheap.
It's now on to the last frontier with the obsessive compulsive behavior that has distinguished our national character. It's time to plumb the heavens for man."
The Mission: http://scari.org/bush_to_mars.html
Exobiologists seek to understand how life originated on Earth by studying chemical and physical conditions elsewhere in our solar system and our galaxy. The origin of life on Earth is not well understood but was evidently based on chemical evolution from simple compounds present on the newly formed planet to create a system of replicating organic chemicals. George W. Bush knows these things and is interested in further knowledge so no child will be left behind.

On planetary conquest: It's hard to determine whether he is feckless visionary or the next prophet. Now the National Astrophysical
Sciences Association has thrown its full backing for the Bush the Manned Mars Mission.
