Phoenix has landed. It still amazes me that we can propel an object into space from this planet and then have it land on a completely different one. We now have another lander on Mars and it will soon be returning more and more data on Mars. This all leads up to a manned mission to Mars planned sometime in the future. I can not wait to see what kind of data will be returned from this newest mission.

Shuttle Launch Scrubbed | NPR. "NASA called off the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery Wednesday because of a faulty fuel-tank sensor. The mission was supposed to be the first for a shuttle since Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry in February 2003. NASA did not immediately set a new launch date." I was all excited to see the launch and then they scrub it. Oh well hopefully tomorrow they can try again.
