Emailing "If Phoenix..."
Treehugger's Lloyd Alter has
a new spin on the well worn "if we can put a man on the moon" chestnut in light of this weekend's
successful Phoenix Mars polar lander mission.
If we can send a robot 422 million miles to land on Mars and get another robot to casually snap a picture of it descending, glowing in the dark, (a "speeding bullet photographed by another speeding bullet) we can do anything.
Indeed!
By the way, if like me you haven't visited
NASA.gov in a while, you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that the site has undergone a nice redesign.
