Petty (edit) cool. I was with my neighbor who's an engineer on the project. No need to say they're elated!

What REALLY (edit) me off is the attempt to hijack this by the "administration" as THEIR SUCCESS! I swear, my thoughts would get me banned here.

It was a wonderful achievement for our country and mankind in general. The night it landed I watched the 1964 movie version of H.G. Wells "First Men In The Moon". Victorians in outer space, talk about vintage!

Politics in a joyous thread about the Mars landing? Buzzkill.

Funny stuff. Gotta enjoy the kids having some fun. As to politics - that was done by politicians. Blame them.
