Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 26, 2009

Not a surprise at all….

And dirt. Probe parts and dirt.

And some rocks.

Well, it almost worked.

WHAT?! NO CHEESE?

I love it! Well, they have to filter that noise out of the results one way or another.

Obviously defective. He’ll have to repeat the experiment until he gets the desired results. No matter how much it costs.

JPL has done it again.

From a certain point of view, it is. “There is no such thing as a failed experiment; it can always serve as a bad example.” :)

Now - let’s go have our separate versions of Nuclear Coffee and do something useful. :))

My question is, did he find traces of Alice?

Anybody find any spleen among the debris?

Even failure provides data. Usually.

well THAT was 40 billion well spent!

Science fiction? No. Stranger than fiction.

Isaac Asimov would have slapped him silly.

Didn’t we do this recently with the moon?

After crashing probe after probe after probe, it was finally determined that the moon – now the size of a baseball – is composed of moon rock.

I had to explain to two people at work that 1) yes the two probes did crash into the moon, 2) no it was not an accident.

What’s this I hear about two Ford Probes crashing into each other on the moon? If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
