The similarities between the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803 to 1806 and a manned mission to Mars are not immediately obvious. Meriwether Lewis‚ William Clark and their fellow adventurers never had to deal with the problems of cosmic radiation‚ for instance‚ or the osteoporosis and muscle atrophy caused by spending months in zero gravity.

It seems to me that Ron Johnson‚ former CEO of J.C. Penney’s had a clear goal of lowering prices and slowing down the never ending sales.
