Mostly OOF, But Interesting...

I heard a bit about this MAVEN project on the news today and followed it up.

Here is the link.

I reckon The Martian will need a lot of excreta to achieve his aim (1m32s into trailer clip) in the light of what
has happened - and still happens - on Mars due to the solar wind. Life would have to be hardy and tenacious indeed!

Also there on the NASA subsite is interesting info and a video about Comet Siding Spring, due around October (near Mars at least).

I find it hard enough figuring out what happens on earth.

Simple! Nothing. Where's this place, anyway?
