One small step
“We have six wheels in the dirt. Mars now is our sandbox, and we are ready to play and learn.”- Charles Elachi, NASA JPL Director
The Spirit rover took it’s first steps on the red planet today. It’s a very exciting time, especially in the wake of President Bush’s revitalization of the space race, this time in response to China’s space program. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve had a fascination with space, Mars in particular. I even dreamt of being the first man to walk on Mars! I can’t wait to see what the next few years hold.
