Way To Go, NASA

took a few tries, but nasa finally had another successful mars landing...it was so cool that everything worked right, and now we get the chance to do some serious exploration of our neighbor...this is the sort of news that makes my day...as i firmly believe that we need to to be putting more effort and money into space, success like this offers the best chance for more it to happen...the knowledge we will reap from this trip is a bargain at the price, and like so many before, will probably reap side benfits to daily life...after all the space program has advanced medical science, and given us 100s of technological improvements like freeze drying food, and satellite tv.
