| Quote (apenpaap) Considering the history of probes to Mars, it is quite worrying...
I find two reasons for hope in this case:
1) The USA has a 5/6 success rate for Mars landings to date
2) The amount of extra money and the extra 2 years of time given to the MSL team mean that they were able to more thoroughly test the spacecraft hardware and especially software, and to plan for a broader range of contingencies.
But there's always the unexpected and the uncontrollable.
We'll find out in 38 hours

| Hello everyone! Just recently found myself downloading Space Engine thanks to Kurt of 'Far Lands or Bust!' fame doing a quick let's play of it. Since I've been a huge fan of science and science fiction for years, I figured it would be worth a look... which turned out to be something of an understatement. This is easily the most beautiful astronomy simulator I've seen.
Now, since this would otherwise be off topic, a quick picture of a terra-with-life on the far outskirts of Andromeda:

| This page is filled with lots of great images. Really like the black hole in front of the milky way and the oceanic world through it's rings.

| A look at my terraformed Mars to celebrate Curiosity's landing:
The extensive forest around Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus Mons.
Gigantic Olympus Mons, now a peninsula into the Arcadia Planitia ocean.
The Valles Marineris, making the Amazon look like a little stream, and its mouth into the Chryse Planitia sea.
The fjorded coast of Aonia Terra.
The many lakes of Arabia and Meridiani Terra.
The Terra Tyrhena landbridge between Mars' two major oceans: the Vastitas Borealis and the Hellas Planitia.
The mostly desert island Elysium Mons, including a little river.
The great lakes of Aeolis, a bit south of Gale, and the river that connects them to the ocean. Gale and Aeolis Mons itself are actually entirely submerged by the ocean.
And finally a look at the huge northern ocean, including the entire Vastitas Borealis, the pole, Utopia, Acidalia, Arcadia, Amazonis, and Elysium Planitia. Olympus Mons can be seen at the upper right, and Elysium Mons in the lower left.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.
