[plug] [OT] Mars lander Opportunity landed :-) Conspiracy Anyone?

[Dion]

Thanks for the reminder. It really is worth bothering over.....

I think this series of successes on Mars is a healthy reminder or how 
exceptional Nasa's people are.  This success is more effective because 
of its contrast with previous failings.

Thanks Onno.
