It's out there

NASA has had some stunning successes in unmanned missions over the last decade and Phoenix has been no exception. The Phoenix lander recently recorded images of snow falling over the Mars polar landscape. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

Too bad Bush's half-hearted effort to refocus NASA's efforts towards a return to the Moon have been a dismal failure. The next administration, McCain or Obama, is most likely going to have to give NASA the shaft on funding in light of our current economic climate. Oh well, maybe the Chinese will have the spare change to take along an American when they go.
