Fun link of the day
The folks here at The Business love to poke around the NASA Web site and learn about the latest missions such as the Phoenix Mars Lander.
The space lander touched down on Sunday and already has transmitted some striking photos of the Red Planet. Some of them look remarkably similar to the rugged terrain on my mother in-law’s farm near Hammon.
The Phoenix Mars Lander Web site also offers a video of the Lander’s Mars landing, although the actual landing is animated, as are the reactions of the NASA crew to the successful landing.
I’m not sure if they were actually watching anything, but their celebration reminded me of the reaction of the nerds in my 10th grade science class when a chemical reaction in a test tube boiled over onto the lab table.
See for yourself and enjoy.
Oh, and one more thing. NASA is now Twittering the Phoenix Mars Lander updates, so if you like your news in two-sentence bites, check it out.
