An anecdote considering the strip for today: I live near Cape Canaveral and hang out at a bar a lot of the team preparing the Curiosity rover for launch to Mars would visit after a hard day of rocket scientisting. We locals starting referring to the Curiosity crew as âthe Martians.â So I can confirm that Martians drink a lot of beer.

Housman said the same thing much more elegantly: âMalt does more than Milton can/To justify Godâs ways to manâ.Of course, he was thinking of real beer, brewed instead of obtained by administering HCT to a diabetic horse.

Whatâs the big deal getting a message to Mars? The dialing code is +33 and you can call call there any time. They have internet access like anywhere so some there will have read Stephâs message already.
