    It's best when they say, "It's not like they're curing cancer." I think x-rays, radiation therapy, MRIs, and such may have been helped along by particle physics.

    I also saw this earlier today. [url]http://wtfnasa.com[/url]

    ...I do have to ask, whats the point of having two buttons that are both set to reload the page? There's no point to them, could just have a "Next" button....

    It's better than two buttons to turn off the internet.

    [url=http://xkcd.com/1091/]Not quite true.[/url] For me, it was "I'm sorry, I can't attend the meeting this afternoon because I have to download photos from a robot lowered onto the surface of Mars by a skycrane."

    Excellent shot! Now where are they going to drive to next? Is that the black monolith to the east of Curiosity? ;)

    And what happened to all the fishing lures we packed for this trip?

    Someone must have packed them in the wrong rover. Curiosity will have to fashion some new ones out of the wiring to one of its wheels.

    I hear that all of Mars's streams and rivers are Catch-and-Release too...

    Most of the MARDI imagery has arrived:

    And for those of you too lazy to make your own video, someone's done it for you:

    I will admit, that video made me a little teary eyed

    That video of the decent is amazing! Even though I knew it would be fine, the last few meters were damn impressive!

    What a beautiful decent!

    Beautiful.

    If looking at the full res, zoomed in image, focus on the top half of the image only - your eye's will kill you with the bottom half as it's simply too crosseyed for sanity.
