NASA officials have admitted that finding evidence of water is not the primary goal of the latest mission to Mars.
In a confidential memo to the Head of NASA, leaked to the Honesdale Bugle, President George Bush clearly advises NASA that should oil be found on Mars he is contractually bound to ensure that exploration is carried out exclusively by individuals who supported the Bush administration during its re-election campaign.
Bush has set aside $60bn for vast space ships to carry any oil found on Mars, however NASA are doubtful of finding any oil since it is made from organic material. Despite this Bush is enthusiastic about the possibility of finding oil on Mars.
