Kent and mom..............
My bro, Kent, came home for the Memorial day weekend and so we all went out for supper tonight at Applebee's in Salem. We all had delicious food, and some dessert shooters. I had one of the perfect marguaritas, and it was so yummy.
Then we all went back to mom's and watched the landing of the Phoenix Mars lander, landing on, you guessed it....MARS. It was really very exciting, as only 1/3 of the objects sent there have landed successfully and then many of them had various problems. This one seems to be a success story. All of the engineers at Nasa in the control room cheered and were very happy when it was confirmed that the Phoenix had landed successfully. The solar panels deployed successfully too. The picture below is a computer generated picture of how the landing went, but the one below it, of the Martian landscape, was taken by the Phoenix soon after landing.
