I agree. It was silly for Allan to report on the trip to Mars, and it does call into question his technical judgement. I find it unnerving.

As far as I know, the people in Bologna and Uppsala have been telling Krivit just the opposite of what he is reporting. See, for example, the abstract from Kullander's upcoming lecture. - Jed
