Ah thanks, but it says it will either be live on the internet or on the Science Channel, not Sci Fi.  I know for us you have to buy a special cable package for the Science Channel, so I'll probably watch it on the internet.  This is the link they gave in that article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp ... 1#22886841 ;)

Watched it live this evening. Amazing stuff. I remember when I saw Spirit land too. I can't wait for the data Phoenix will send back in the upcoming months. :D

They intended to wrap up this game of Life on Mars.

However, once they rip off the cover to get to the core of it, it may not be life as we know it...

Can't help to wonder if the entire cost of this could have better been used in the direction of replacing our reliance on fossil fuels.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
