I love NASA....

Agreed... NASA's timing was off by 12 hours though - it would have been really amazing to have the landing happen in the middle of the day so millions of students across the nation could watch it live!

If my shop was snowed in and my unfinished robot was sitting in there, I'd dig it out with a plastic spoon or melt it out with a Bic lighter if I had to. Every hour counts. If there's a will, there's a way to make it happen. - sanddrag [more]
