No you didnt, it said unmanned.
Figured. ANyway, they should be able to get a fairly cheap unmanned mission there for that cost - since that is still going on the cheap cheap side. It will be interesting to watch this program develop. I feel our own Moon shot and Mars shot in the future has only got half our hearts as a Nation. Nothing like throwing a little competition in there to help spice things up a bit!
