AWESOME: Images From Mars

I wish I had been awake this morning when rover, Spirit, landed.  That must have been one monumental moment of the nth kind.  It was beginning to sound (for the past two weeks) that Spirit was "dead".

The Red Planet has been a source of mystery and inspiration for thousands of years and has generated countless exploration attempts. So similar to our own Earth, Mars continues to be our next frontier in space.

“We see these intriguing hints Mars may have been a different place long ago.”
Steve Squyres, the mission's main scientist

The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
