February 20, 2008 by Bartoneus

One day, a week or two ago, I came across this story about images sent back from the Mars Spirit Rover.  What you see to the right is a small version of a panorama taken at a crater on Mars from this mission, and you can see a super high quality version at Nasa’s site […]

TV's Terminator Review

January 15, 2008 by DarthCthulhu
