CURIOSITY HAS LANDED! First Images From Mars

At around 1:31 am this morning, I saw the furious tweeting and internet frenzy on the landing of Mars Science Lab, AKA Curiosity, on the Red Planet. This, I thought to myself, is a historic moment that I’ve been waiting to see for the last few months!

To quote a meme featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson…

“I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome science is.”

I wasn’t even sure I could get to sleep earlier this morning…the collective nerdgasm on Twitter was just that intense.

Fantastic!

I seek to learn through this site and others how to better my ability as a person and my skill at using my reason and understanding to best effect. I do fractal artwork as a hobby, and I'm working to develop it to professional levels, though I've a bit to go till I reach that degree of skill! This is a crazy world we're in, but maybe I can do a little, if only that, to make it a bit more sane than it otherwise would be.

Comments are golden, but I'll not tolerate attempts to defecate on this blog's online rug -- I have cats for that, thank you.
