I don't like Mars. It is too red. In my class we all like Pluto because of the dog.

okay, check it... if we amend the constitution to allow for arnold schwarzenegger to be elected president, then the United States officially annexes Mars (assuming terraforming is the preferred remedy for overpopulation), then maybe--just maybe--arnold will be the de jure leader of a blue-skied Mars. just something to think about

It's fascinating to see another work outside of the world we live in. Although Mars doesn't have the same appeal as Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, or galaxies far away...the fact that our closest neighbor in the solar system could be an extra home for us is a bit interesting.

Mars was beautiful and bright last night. It was shining and a red tint that you could see in the early evening sky.

fluhead,
LOL, but then Taco Bell will have won the franchise wars, we'll all have to use the three seashells, and the Scraps will have taken over San Angeles!

I know NASA takes a lot of flack but it's amazing how long the rovers have lasted! Kudos to the guys who designed and built the Energizer Bunny of Martian Probes!

I still remember in the 1950's when a cloud formation formed that looked a lot of the letter "W". There was a great deal of discission and movies were made as to the signfiance of the letter "W".

All these photos are great! Can't hardly wait for the first steps on Mars, like the ones on the moon! Actually I communicated with a place on the Web that is so sure it is not that far off that they are selling trips to Mars.
I think it is all very exciting! We have to live the history between now and then first, but trips to Mars cold become commonplace later in the history books!
