Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Tonight!

[Amanda Morrison]

Oh, the irony...

Shortly after the landing, Al Gore and Arnold Schwarzenegger were walking around NASA. That was funny. After the webcast was over, I decided to watch some TV. I flipped through channels, and what was on?

Total Recall. With Arnold Schwarzenegger. On Mars.

again: The irony. It kills me.

I'm not so sure it was irony... the day Spirit landed, one of the stations (not the Sci-fi channel) was playing old sci-fi movies, including The Angry Red Planet. And on Saturday, Opportunity's big arrival day, the same chanel was playing old sci-fi movies again, this time including The Forbidden Planet, which I know isn't Mars, but the title was funny... Maybe one of their program directors is actually paying attention to the events in the outside world.

Were you watching CNN for the landing? The reporter's comment about Arnold being the only man who had actually been to Mars was funny.
