Quote of the month:

I've always thought that if there is ever an international project to send men to Mars, the U.S. will build the rocket, the British will produce the engine, and the French will contribute a sugar bowl that opens when you remove the spoon from the slot attached to it.
~Calvin Trillian, "The Accidental Luddite" Time Magazine, 10/20/97.

Quote from an article online:

Cabrol also said that currently prolonged space travel isn't the best thing for a person's system because of gravity. Such a trip would take at least half a year. It's feasible, but the astronaut would have to recover from the trip once they landed. Luckily, there appears to be some gravity on Mars.

"appears to be some gravity"? Silly me... I thought we had had probes or something land on Mars... I thought we *knew* whether there was gravity there or not, not made some wild guesses based on what *appears* to be true. But you know... I might be wrong.

Yay! The weather channel says it should be clear between 2100 and 2330 or so tonight... just in time for me to see the eclipse!!

Oh yeah.... here's the link to my Mars certificate, as well as my comet certificate. I am so awesome.
