NASA Satellite Looks For Response From Dead Mars Craft
coondoggie writes "NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter will next week make a number of passes over the presumed dead Phoenix Mars Lander on the surface of the planet and listen for what the space agency called possible, though improbable, radio transmissions. Odyssey will pass over the Phoenix landing site about 10 times this month and two longer listening tries in February and March trying to determine if the craft survived Martian winter and try to lock onto a signal and gain information about the lander’s status."
Yikes, money in space is dangerous... especially coins.

Come on guys. Episode FOUR.
BEFORE:
The shitty, forced "acting"
The annoying junior crew took up 60% of the show
The "hurr, durr, hurr durr, derp derp derp let's blow something up" mentality
Adam's non-stop "look at me, I'm gaaaaaaay with this walrus!" antics
The "we saw this on youtube so we're gonna do it too" "myths"
The "Hey, if you like our show and want more, go watch this 20 second clip on the site! Yes, this little segment telling you to go to the site is in fact 30 seconds long!" shit
We don't even need to get into the whole "wouldn't fall to the Earth anyway, would burn in atmosphere if it did, would likely hit water, etc." stuff.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
