Nice engineering.<p>Too bad it's focused on seemingly useless missions. Maybe they should start with "Why should we sent people to Mars?".<p>My understanding is that ESA is paid by public money, right? Shouldn't public money be used to work on the major problems we have on Earth, like the current mass extinction (did you know we lost 80% insects in the last 20 years?), climate change and the beginning of the end of fossil resources?
