3. Thanks for posting.

A few years ago, at a Bubonicon which is a science fiction thing in Albuquerque, there was a session "Mars or New Mexico?" which compared photos of Mars with photos of New Mexico. The NM pics did have plants edited out, so as to not make it too easy, but it was pretty interesting who similar the two places are.

4. We should be there by now.

In July 1969, I was 19 and in college at the University of Alabama. My parents, younger brother and I watched live on TV as two of the Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, walked around on the moon. (Michael Collins was in lunar orbit in the command module.) At one point I left the house for a couple of minutes and stood out in the yard, gazing up at the moon, and I thought, "Wow! There's somebody there! Walking around right now!" What an incredible mind-blowing experience that thought, that realization, was. My parents, brother and I all thought then that there would be humans walking around on Mars within ten or 15 or 20 years. We were SURE about that. WHY hasn't it happened? It should have by now.

7. Same experience blew me away, too.

My 2 kids were toddlers, we sat on the back porch and I had the same feeling. told the kids they were watching history.
They don't remember it, but it did mark a permanent memory in my brain.

And now I sit here and can virtually be on Mars.

My gob is seriously smacked.
