Mars Rover Breaks Free

QuantumFTL writes "According to an MSNBC story Opportunity, the same rover that scored an interplanetary hole-in-one, has broken free of an interplanetary sand trap. The MER science operations mailing list was abuzz this morning with the news, as soon as the first rear hazcam image indicating success came down. Engineers were praised for working long nights and weekends to make this extrication possible. Good job, NASA!"

This would have been a first post, but my packets got stuck in the router dunes and only now managed to free themselves!

I've done it again. It always happens when I need to keep my cool. During the coffee break half way through my big sales pitch I went into the bathroom and carved "nigger" into my chest again. God, it stings so badly. I think the blood is seeping through the paper towels. I just hope my suit jacket covers me enough. All right, I need to get back into the real estate mindset again.

Ot: nice Google ad, heh.

Me thinks it needs some fine tuning. Unless I have misunderstood the whole Red Hat thing.

Why would you credit Bush with this mission? What did he have to do with it?

What kind of crack-brained mod calls this a troll?

I am curious - did you do it so you could read it in the mirror, or so someone looking at your chest could read it? What tool do you use? A ballpoint (or fountain) pen, or perhaps a nice chisel from Lee Valley - http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=4603 5&cat=1,41504 or maybe even a tool designed for leather - http://www.loonfeatherleather.com/Product.taf?_fun ction=detail&_ID=402 ???
