“Ten minutes before atmospheric entry in August 2012”

had to go through most of the article to see when then was going to happen. Seems like a very hard way to do it but why not use a pencil when you can spend 30 million dollars developing a pen that writes in space.

Isn’t the world suppose to end in May of 2012 anyway?

It becomes especially pointless when you realize that the discovery of life or even past life would be the most astounding scientific finding of all time....and it would immediately take mars off the table for anything but study.

Gotta ditch the outer space treaty and make space profitable.

Actually, pens are used in zero gravity for a very important reason: the carbon from pencil lead can and will flake off and is conductive.

No, December 2012. That's four full months we get to play with it!

Besides, no one said Mars was ending, did they?
