I saw that post in the sidebar but with no update notification and I saw this morning when I woke up the launch had been successful so I decided to post a new thread.

This mission was assembled from pieces and parts left over from the ill-fated Mars Polar Lander project a couple years ago. The ship is moving 12,000 mph which seems fast considering the flight will take 9 months. Must be the way the planets line up.

that NASA hopes will culminate next spring in the first ever landing within the red planet's Arctic Circle.This is a good idea - - we better check out that arctic cirlce before it melts from "global warming".

In smaller sea going vessels that is what the steering compartment is known as...it isnt until you get to the large (cruise sheeps, tankers, cargo ships, military ships of size) that the “cockpit” is referred to as the “bridge”...

May 25 sounds familiar. But something to do with the Moon...

Only a marine would write that...but, as a marine, I am sure you have heard the old Army joke about why the navy has marines on board their ships, right?
