Mars-Express On Its Way

Posted by michael on from the au-revoir dept.

Nebukadnezar writes "Two weeks ago, Mars-Express tested its sensors and took some marvelous data and pics of the Earth-Moon system from a distance of about 8*10^6 km. Nice to see our neighborhood once in a while. BTW check out the spectrometer readings of Earth: water shows up very clearly. I wonder what this instrument will tell us about water on Mars..."

    .. wonder what this instrument will tell us about water on Mars. ..

    Hm. It's ice, it's wet when it melts, and it's mostly concentrated in the poles. Was this trip really necessary?

    There's water on Earth?! When did that happen?

    Seriously, it just feels good when something you put so much work and hope into just clicks. Besides, when you're on as long a trip as Mars Express is, you have to play with something until you get there.

    God I love this troll, and I can't help falling for it every time. You see, I am also in love with her titties. I want to suck on them for a while.
