@Kanyuru The one that got there on Sunday/Monday tops all geek inspiring feats! (not considering Apollo) 1. Atmospheric entry 2. Super sonic parachute 3. Sky crane config 4. Lowered to the surface like a boss 5.

Ati Dark Knight was disappointing? Loved the political, philosophical undertones and the general bad assery of Bane. Granted the action bits were extremely lame but the dialog and theme was on point. For me anyway. DVD material not Big screen worthy. And need I mention Anne Hathaway as Cat woman?. . I think not. On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 9:09 AM, amanya <whynnot@gmail.com> wrote:

@Karunyu If the U.S. Govt. gave N.A.S.A their Military budget, by now there would'av been a permanent human presence on the Moon, Mars and (at least I believe ) subsurface/underwater base on Europa with terra-forming already in progress on both Mars and Venus! The kind of roving/probing being done on the desolate red dot would'av been focused on extra solar rocks.
