Default Landed on Mars...Impressed?

I can honestly say yes...it is impressive. Think of the technology & dedication it takes to accomplish that task.

When we make something for our cars or figure something out to make it go just a little faster, we become so happy.
...and rightly so.

But just imagine how those scientists & engineers feel right now.

I admire them.

I know...What's up with that?

I thought there was some way to get those solar panels to recharge the batteries.

I'm sure they do but only 3 months doesn't seem that long.

The company I was working for when I lived in L.A had a contract with J.P.L in Pasadena and I got to see the first one.Well the test one.The real one was behind really tight security.They had what they called a "Mars Yard".I was just a parking lot with big red rocks :P.I saw some cool pictures from all over the solar system while working there.Thats one of the best places I have worked.Hope this one doesnt break after 3 weeks
