Title: Mars
Post by: RatBastard on August 06, 2012, 01:36:04 am
Damn, that was just plain fucking amazing.  We basically parked a car on Mars!  Those men and women who designed, planned, and flew that craft to mars are about the most brilliant minds our country has to offer and I am damn proud of every one of them.  Job well done NASA!

Glad that I'm not the only nerd around here who was monitoring this.

Yes, that was fantastic! Very much looking forward to what will eventually be revealed throughout the years. Wondering what they will find in the caves?

You should be complaining about the cost of the space program.

So....they find signs of water on Mars....woopdefuckingdo! Then what? Mission accomplished I suppose.

Not unlike what happened after the moon landing which confirmed that is wasn't in fact, made of cheese?

Why would I complain about an expenditure that is actually produces useful results?
