Can We Send Their Leaders Too?

And send Lenin and Mao's remains also:

BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- China and Russia plan to launch a joint mission to Mars in 2009 to scoop up rocks from the red planet and one of its moons, a Chinese scientist said on Wednesday.

Russia will launch the spacecraft, while China will provide the survey equipment to carry out the unmanned exploration, Ye Peijian, a senior scientist at the Chinese Academy of Space Technology, told a meeting in Beijing, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

Hell, why not send the rest of the commies like Fidel and his lapdog Hugo.

Update: We may not need to send Chavez away, his people my do it for us.
