Why does that government expenditure bar chart show "four billion gallons of Tang"? Did our government actually purchase that? To what end? Is there some secret Tang storage bunker in the midwest? Do they know something about Tang we don't know?!? Now I'm either afraid to drink it, or I feel the need to go buy as much of it as possible!

NASA has a ton of Mars landing related events going on. Check out this map, there is probably one near you...

Yeah, because the money wasn't spent here in the U.S. paying our own scientists and technicians and advancing our own technology, it was just stuffed into a rocket and blasted into space.

Dumb ****.

Is there a down side to this? :D



I bet they will discover a "translation" that God created life on other worlds, too.

I always get a good chuckle from these 'we're still looking for definitive proof in microbial life, struggling with advanced propulsion' bullshit.

This government knows/has things that would melt your brain, i'm convinced that stuff like this is a cover, 'hey we put a mini-cooper sized vehicle on Mars!'.

That aint jack.

If you want to melt your brain, try to figure out how and why gravity works.

ROFL

I'm very excited about this. I plan to stay up and watch it and model it with my cat as the rover, a can of Dr. Pepper as the spacecraft, and my kitchen table as the landing area.

Why isn't the coverage starting? It was supposed to start half an hour ago and it's still not on. Hopefully this isn't a metric/English system problem.
