While I know that this sort of post is more Walt’s interest than mine, he’s been real busy sleeping at the switch lately, so I figured that I’d jump into the fray and post it for him.
Seems that NASA has finaly managed to hit one out of the park (so to speak), and successfully landed a probe in Mars’ most northern polar region, which is believed to hold a reservoir of ice beneath it. Well, instead of crashing yet another billion of our tax dollars on the Red Planet, they seemed to have successfully landed the Phoenix Mars Lander softly in the Martian arctic plains on Sunday. Since then it has apparently dazzled scientists with the first-ever glimpse of the Red Planet’s high northern latitudes.
Yep, we finally got one placed (gently) on the surface of mars (and not coming in at 100 MPH). So I guess that the NASA guys all do have something to celebrate! If you want to read more about the post, you can check out the full post over here. Then you can post a quick note to our Imperious leader, and tell him that while he was on vacation some mad-cool outerspace stuff took place. Boy will he be jeralous, eh?
