And he has been abruptly transferred from his prison cell in Hyderabad, in southern Pakistan, to Rawalpindi, near the army headquarters where the assassination probe is being conducted.

Only when it's 100% done do you send humans." For mission planners--not to mention astronauts--spooked by the idea of arriving on Mars and finding that the fuel and water tanks have sprung a leak, redundant tanks could store twice as much as needed and provide some margin of safety...
