In your opinion, what aspect of our current space technology (besides funding) is truly keeping us back from a trip to Mars?

Seriously. The speed with which they are able to collect the right props for the question, pose, take a pic, and then upload it are seriously impressive

If Obama walked up to you and said, "Jerkuler, how do we simplify this bitch?", what would you say to him?

I am a senior in high school, and was recently accepted into my #1 choice for college. My parents are upper middle class, and they work 40-50 hour weeks. Our combined family income is probably in the $120k range. Our mortgage still has 50k left on it. I also work on weekends. The college I applied to gave my $23k free and clear every year, plus a $1800 work study and $10,000 in unsubsidized stafford loans (I think that's what they are). I am also applying for scholarships offered by various groups/agencies. My college tuition, per year, is somewhere in the 57k range (without all of the financial aid). Any advice, besides what I am already doing, to knock more money off the tuition?

Edit: People seem to think I am crazy paying 57K a year for school. I would agree. I am only paying 15K a year after scholarships. Thanks for the advice people.

Care to elaborate on the poor people part? Kinda interested.
