Dancing man on right: "Newton METERS not Newton Feet, and the mission is COMPLETE!"
Man on left: "Oh ho! you did it, I owe you 5 bucks."
Man in background, center: "Oh darn, I bet everything that we'd mess up again."

Good compilation Dioge, I just GOTTA bust on NASA though..

The "dancing man on right" in the blue shirt and jeans is Steve Sqyres, Principal Investigator (in other words, science lead on the mission). The applauding man on the left, with the white hair and moustache, is NASA Administrator Sean O'Keeffe.

These guys (and the other celebrating pros in the pictures) have worked hard, and O'Keefe in particular has deserved a good break for quite a while now.

Dio, I just gotta thank you for these excellent posts. I really appreciate it and occasionally I save one complete to disk and use it to show people who say, "why are we there when they hate us?"

I tell them the best thing to do if you want to be informed is deep-six your TV and start surfing the net.

d.o.l.
