I've had NASA TV on all day, and not much has happened yet. I watched it until midnight, and then they put Spirit to sleep. It is about sunrise on MER1 right now, and they will wake it up at around 3 PM Pacific time.
They said that color images should be coming in tonight.
I saw the NOVA special last night, and they are having part 2 tomorrow night.

Yesterday, they showed an animation of what human exploration of Mars might look like.
They also talked about a probe that will land on one of Saturn's moons this summer.

I thought it was odd that we don't have anything lined up going to Venus until I found out that Venus is actually hotter than Mercury, who knew?
Well yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if plans are in the works. Technology has improved mucho in the last 10 years. There might be a stronger metal created that can stand up to the high heat.

And the thing is that if developers could go there they would start talking about the housing tracts they'd put on the hills.

Also this is a heads-up to note that Opportunity is a few days away from touchdown.

Martians are real and they are pissed about us landing stuff on their houses. It's not the done things on Mars.

I'll be at a party tonight and as a result will miss the landing coverage, so raise a glass without me.
