OK, OK. There's plenty of fodder for gripes and laughs.
But I gotta tell you, I didn't really GET the whole damn Mars thing: why it matters, why it's interesting, why I should care, until I listened to Talk of the Nation Science Friday. The unique thing about a lot of NPR programming is its ability to engage, engender enthusiasm, and put things like policy, politics, economics on a human scale.
