Don't forget the European Mars mission: Mars Express/Beagle 2. It launched June 2nd. Mars Express

Strange isn't it when you think that the 7 months probably isn't that far off what it took early European explorers to reach whatever they were exploring on the other side of the world. Now we're checking out Mars.

Hot on the heels of the latest 'the world is doomed by uncontrolled progress' pop culture surge (I think that article's been in every newspaper on the planet), something decent shows up. Really, if the world is going to be eaten by nanobots in the next century, why not start looking at other places to set up shop?

That's what I've been saying all along...

You have no idea how much I want to slap a "Mars or Bust" bumper sticker on each of these things.

Go, tool using monkeys! Go!
