You can't go to Mars because of the glass plates that hold the Moon in place. That is even if you could find it considering you would be basing your celestial navigation on the heliocentric model, which, of course, we know is a fraud, much like evolution. Finally there is no need to go to Mars, it is nothing but a light in the sky meant to glorify Earth and the only people who want to go there are evolution evangelists. Earth is God's masterpiece, the only inhabitable world, made specially through a seven-day (168 hour) divine fiat for God's only children. Also, we know that there are no extrasolar planets.
Of course NASA is sinful and foolish. Haven't you ever heard of the Tower of Babel? We know what happened to them that tried to build it! That anyone would dare bring this upon a country as Godly as the United States (founded by Christians to preserve Christianity and to be able to teach Protestant Non-Episcopalian Christian Fundamentalism in the schools as much as they wanted and prosecute whoever objects) is shameful. But of course, this whole space exploration / astronut-launching system is really a sham to promote evolution. We all know that the world is flat.
By the way, that's satire.

Teachers have to decide which material they focus on in class and what gets emphasis. To ensure that students are taught effectively they are tested at the conclusion of each year. Teachers, therefore, have a tendency to teach what will be on the standardized tests. There is no reason to teach what is not on the test; they can skip it completely and it will make no difference.
Instead of dealing with a controversial issue, Kansan teachers would be encouraged to sweep evolution right under the carpet and (more) thousands of students would progress to university-level courses without any prior exposure to the theory.

By the way, evolution was not the only thing removed from the test standards in that action. Several references to environmental concerns were also deleted, including global warming and resource depletion. Also hacked out were the age of the Earth and the Big Bang. This goes beyond Creationism v. Evolution, the action was nothing less than censorship of any science that offends the far-right, in this case the Creation Science Association of Mid-America, the primary author of the offending standards.
