Water Ice On Mars
While packing up from a sort of late work day and talking to my mother
on the phone, I read a tweet from from MarsPhoenix reporting that Water Ice
had just been found on the surface of
Mars. So I passed the news right on to Mama as, “Hey, they just found water
ice on Mars. I just got a text message from the robot they sent up there.” And I give
the quick run down of the lander and how I come to get a text message from it.
“Just imagine how far we’ve gone. In 1900, your Pappa wasn’t even
alive, there weren’t many cars, and no airplanes. And now we’ve sent robots to Mars that
are making ice water and sending you messages about it."
Yeah,
kinda cool.
