Future planetary exploration: Call for New MSL Landing Site Proposals

Back in Professor Hogan's "Planetary Atmospheres" and Tobias Owen, planetary geologist was at Earth and Space Sciences at Stony Brook University, we had some of the info from the Viking mission (Carl Sagan's "baby") as it arrived, I think. How about a return to there to re-sample what didn't or was inconclusively tested? Then go like a "bat-out-of-hell" to somewhere nearby of interest. However, not entirely a sentimental journey, scientific: "‘Doveryai no proveryai’ – ‘trust but verify’ – that’s the phrase Reagan learned to say in Russian." Mikhail Gorbachev
