The Best Of Planetary Explorers

Posted by Hemos on from the the-few-the-proud dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NASA's timeline is published today on the top seventy five events in recent planetary explorations. Since June and July inaugurates three new landers going to Mars, it is curious to see their selected images: Venusian crust hot enough to melt lead, comets colliding with Jupiter, Europa's frozen ocean. But the most precious discoveries may be those chalked up as nearly free riders: the fifteen Mars rocks that annually are found among Antarctic meteors [100 grams total] and all those four and half million personal computers doing SETI@home CPU cycles."

    Please build a nice Time machine, and tell us where you see SCO in 2004, 2005 and 2006. We know they'd be gone before 2007, so don't bother!

    BTW, please also alert us if you see Palladium anywhere....I mean, the metal, not a code-name for a project.
