Over at Making Light, there's a picture of the Mars Pheonix lander as it's descending, taken from ANOTHER SPACESHIP.

NASA has the pic brightened to show Mars and the freaking PARACHUTE LINES.

Dude. DUDE.

Haha, that's nothing.

We shot a comet with a freakin' bullet. How's that for precision?

I wonder how long it will take before we really start trying to get out there though?

That's humans for ya. Travel four hundred million miles to take happy snaps of stuff we brought with us.
