Just as Mars -- a desert planet -- gives us insights into global climate change on Earth, the promise awaits for bringing back to life portions of the Red Planet through the application of Earth Science to its similar chemistry, possibly reawakening its life-bearing potential.
This precipitous decline in the quantity of Earth science and applications observations from space undertaken by the United States reinforces the conclusion in the decadal survey and its predecessor, the 2005 interim report (NRC, 2005), which declared that the U.S. system of environmental satellites is at risk of collapse.
As OMB previously indicated in our statement for the record for this Committee's May 6 hearing, if additional resources are warranted for Station development, the Administration intends to look first for offsets within NASA while protecting Administration priorities in space and earth science, advanced space transportation, and aviation safety research.

The draft curriculum for geography does not contain references to climate change but a section called "Earth science" in the chemistry syllabus says 11- to 14-year-olds should be taught about "the production of carbon dioxide by human activity and the impact on climate" and includes a section on "the efficacy of recycling".

The successful completion of the exercise, or even an attempt and failure, has repeatedly demonstrated, in part, why it is that young-earth creation-science promoters have failed in their scientific pretensions and legal challenges without having to resort to fussing over technical, scientific details that few are qualified to address or engaging in Mahoney-level rhetoric.
This pending move back to planetary science from earth sub-orbit comes on the heels of improvements in pointing systems and instrument technologies that will allow ground-based controllers to fine-tune balloon payloads to include one-meter class optical and infrared telescopes.
