Other than the few minutes of lost signal, this is looking like the best case scenario!

Way to go NASA!!

Oh, SURE, we can send a space vehicle 303 million miles into space and land it on a distant planet, but we STILL can't find Osama... (Can't you just HEAR Howard Dean leading the charge on the Sunday morning news shows?!)

Seriously, a hardy congratulations to the fine folks who have worked on this project. It's wonderful to see USA ingenuity and know-how succeed once again.

Stay safe. G-d bless America.

We should all pause and think about the wonderful resource we have in Free Republic.

And then go donate! ^
