How about Space Station Gipper.

Is it true that Senator M. Noriega (D-Panama) is trying to kill the new

"The Mars mission won't be cheap -- the cost is currently estimated at
$400 billion, not including reality -- but the potential benefits are
enormous.  For openers, we will earn as a nation, more than 500 million
Frequent Flyer miles."
