All over the internet recently, sciFy vs. reality and a Mars satellite for petty cash:
That breaks the monopoly. Faced with the spectre of other nations publishing uncensored Mars images, NASA and JPL have started publishing some much more obvious images than they have in the past including a totally uncensored video (JPL) showing large-scale structure.
A few items...

Good for you. We’re going to a party at church tonight. I’m already having a lousy diet week, having started out with wine and pretzels ...
I wish I lived near you.
I have some extra blankets,
We had a catbird here that would follow NiMH around while saying his name.
It was funny to watch him stomp his little feet while saying it too.
“NiMH! NiMH! NiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMH!”
“Office of imperial weatherman.”
When we want Jake to come in at night, we call, “Jake! Jake!” The bird obviously associates the sound with something: either Jake himself, or maybe the back door opening.
If the bird looks at the cat or follows said cat, then it is associating it with Jake himself.
Which will annoy the poor mite.
I haven’t noticed the bird’s actions, because it’s dark in the morning. We’ve just heard him yelling.
But remember that said catbird eventually became a feathered cat-toy...
NiMH was not averse to field-dressing his game...
Learning experiences.
It’s OK. I found a fleece throw, so maybe that will work. Sorta. Thanks for the thought, though!
There's more too, but that title only covers Earth and Mars. I've figured out why Venus was not included; it's because the weather on Venus is perfect just the way it is.
Keep that in mind if you go there.
By the way, I usually make the excuse that the mirrors in space I've requested haven't even been launched yet. Hard to control weather when you don't have the hardware.
Oh, excuses, excuses. Next you’re going to be requesting more funding.
Btw, I saw the pencil sharpener of my dreams at OfficeMax last night (as well as the flirtatious ball python). Make sure there’s an additional $70 in the new budget.
Title also takes in our Moon and Phobos and Deimos.
Yes, but he did ignore the bird for quite some time, even as it stood on him shouting “NiMH!” while stomping its feet.
That was nice of him. He was probably very confused.
One may as well throw in Ceres as well, and it wouldn't matter if Mercury were included. None of these have any atmosphere to speak of, and therefore no weather to control.
The art of weather control as I see it is to perceive weather as a heat engine, and simply control the heat that enters the system in order to control what it does once there.
Mirrors are the key to this: An extremely large mirror in the Earth-sun LaGrange Point One, to deflect incident solar radiation from Earth's equatorial regions, and to redirect it toward the poles as needed to move things around. Essentially one guides the trade winds in their courses to keep them predictable.
For Mars, of course, the situation is different; one needs to add energy, and a lot of it. Mars is twice as far from the sun as Earth, on average, and receives only a fourth of the sunlight that Earth does. To make it more like Earth, we need to put a big, (yes, that big), mirror in its Mars-Sun LaGrange Point One, so that the nearly twenty-four hour day of Mars is preserved, but with considerably more heat and light.
A resident of Mars, looking up, would then see a sun as large to the eye as it appears from Earth, and therefore plants adapted to Earth's light levels would thrive there, assuming they had air.
This additional heat on Mars will release both water and carbon dioxide to replenish the Martian atmosphere, but more air from someplace will be needed. Mars is a fixer-upper, but the weather system will be easy.

Motion seconded.....when does he start? LOL.
But eventually it happened like this:
Just like that, I’m sure.
