Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Who's watching the Mars landing? I'm streaming it on NASA's web site now.

Hell yeah, I am. I upgraded by cable today, just to get NASA TV, and I have Eyes on the Solar System on the laptop. If only I thought to get astronaut ice cream...

"Wheels down on Mars!" It's great to see how happy they are at JPL. I feel like I'm there, standing in the corner and watching it all happen.

Well done, NASA! Huzzah! That was really exciting and getting the pics back so fast, which was not a given, really topped it all off. A very nice production all the way around. Nice guest spots, great graphics and supporting videos etc.
