Happy Anniversary, LANDsat 5

Saturday, March 7, 2009


It's stories like these that make me proud of American ingenuity and engineering. How cool is it that this device has kept on chugging in such an inimical environment, with such old technology? Pretty damn cool.

Congratulations NASA and USGS, on a remarkable achievement.

It is cool, just like the Mars Rovers have last far beyond what anybody projected in their wildest dreams. Despite the screw ups that happen from time to time, we still have some of the smartest people in the world in NASA, JPL, etc. Now if we can just kick our schools up a notch in the science and math areas instead of all the bullshit fights over teaching evolution.
