From latimes:
It was the first time in history one spacecraft was able to take a picture of another during a landing on an alien planet, a feat some Phoenix team members doubted could be achieved.And then this tidbit, a setup for an awesome robot disaster movie:
The single glitch was the failure of the sheath known as a bio-barrier to fully deploy around the robotic arm. That sheath was installed as a safety measure, to prevent the spacecraft from contaminating Mars with bacteria from Earth. Officials said that failure to deploy would not affect the operation of the arm.

“ I just talked to the director out there and they are working like junkyard dogs to get that done as soon as possible.

Ted interviewed me for my previous job, in October 2000. We’ve worked together since then. I really don’t know what Monday will be like.
I would be absolutely terrified except that he’s agreed to continue sharing his .emacs files.

I think Muxtape should have a “hardcore mode” that forces you to plan out two sides, and if you go over the time limit for one side a song just cuts off. - jeffrubinjeffrubin

This is the last out of yesterday’s cubs game. The ball is past Kendall. It’s a strikeout. Nobody, except maybe Kendall and Wood, know that yet. The crowd is still watching the pitch. Lee is waiting for a ground ball. The catcher is thinking about fishing. The umpire is watching the catcher’s glove.

Justin gave a great presentation at the NY tech meetup tonight. Simple and straightforward like muxtape. I started making mixtapes about the time I started on the internet, and 15 years later you can use a web browser to buy helicopter tickets and trade put options on celebrity death bets. You can rate the trade and find the two traders like yourself, perhaps so you can ask them to leave town. And Justin went and made mixtapes. Something so straightforward and optimistic.
I couldn’t be happier for him. I’m incredibly sad he won’t be coming into work anymore.
