Re: Scientific Progress (or game hint?)

NASA spends $325,000,000 and accomplishes a major feat of science and engineering, yet all we can talk about is the number of "s"s in Dave's post?

I felt it was pretty anticlimactic. When they had the disappearing chunk of ice I think the "WE FOUND WATER!" ran its course, and got headlines, even though they hadn't actually found it chemically, just seen it. So, when they finally do get the proof, no one's really paying that much attention. In the days after it landed, Phoenix was on the front page, sometimes the second. Now its back on A6 or A7.
