Mars Science Laboratory Landed Today!, from Jack Tierney
I don't recall being as excited as I am today for science and our
endeavors in space. Must be some of what the mood was like in 1969.
Funny how the geo-political B.S. fades away for a few days when one can
watch this and the Olympics and enjoy all the greatness that humanity is
capable of…
(BTW, speaking of 1969, a friend astutely observed that the moon landing coincides with the day that good old Teddy drove off the bridge…luckily for him attention was overwhelmingly skyward…).
