Congratulations, NASA!

The first “real” etherblog post of 2004 is dedicated to the folks at NASA who have made the Spirit project successful. The apparent loss of the ESA’s Beagle was a real downer for me, particularly after the optimism spawned by the Beagle’s successful separation from its orbiter. The confirmation of NASA’s Spirit Rover’s landing, however, ushered forth a scream of joy from at least this usually-reserved individual.
I can’t blame the Mars Exploration Rover Team for being this happy [photo taken from Nasa’s Mars Exploration Rover Mission website].
I’m not a big fan of Flash (in fact I can’t stand it), but the M2K4 website at NASA will hopefully inspire confidence and foster interest in space exploration for lots of young and old folk around the world. The features on the Nasa’s Mars Exploration Rover Mission are also quite well-done.
Way to go, NASAians!
