This video, put together by NASA of animation of the Phoenix Mars Lander and footage of mission control, fills me with joy and wonder.
Wow. Bravo NASA, JPL and UA. Stunning.

About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

My oldest daughter recently fell in love with the stars. I don't know if I've ever been more proud. ;)
Shawn, you should be proud. Your daughter might be the next Hot Astronomer!
Ok, I'm officially a geek. I teared up a little during that clip. Very well put together. (Not to mention the mission itself!!)
