Once again, America has enforced it's view of all things our way by
depositing an SUV on Mars as a harbinger of the impending urban sprawl
on Earth.

I was up late at GaTech for the landing party and got so see this live
(well, with a 7 minute delay from Mars and an apparent 2 minute delay
from NASA).

7 minutes of terror was an apt name for the decent.

Need to find out how much Linux there was involved in this thing.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
