Canada has been pushing forth a proposal to include Celine Dion and Bieber.

That's true. These first few may end up going on what basically qualifies as suicide missions, but if it paves the path for future Mars colonization, it's a good thing in the long run.

Does anybody know if that's true? Or could that be why we haven't heard much of our old pal DD lately?
