Mars Rovers At Smithsonian And Exploratorium Now
Illah Nourbakhsh writes "From the makers of the Palm Pilot Robot Kit comes our newest thing. If you live in SF or in DC you can go to the biggest science centers of them all, the Air & Space Museum or the Exploratorium and interact with miniature Mars rovers we've put in Mars yards there.

I havent read this article but i can tell you right off the bat that it wont make you life right. The truth is, we need Jesus. We need Him to come into our lives and change us. We aren't going to make everything perfect in this lifetime. The world is an imperfect place, and so forever will our lives be here. So what are we chasing?

Why is it that we can brainwash the masses into thinking that it's okay for us to spend billions on space crap while ignoring the homeless people living in the streets and at the YMCA?
I'll never understand a society that says it's okay to blow billions on meaningless stuff in the name of science while ignoring all the social issues that plague us.
How many lean cuisines can you buy with the money we've spent on the Mars Program? How much beef jerky could you purchase with the billins we spend on the space shuttle?
