No surface ice is visible but it's expected below the surface. The mysterious polygons are in clear view. I wonder what they'll turn out to be. Cause, well, that square one in the article looks rather like a landing dent or a foundation footprint, neither likely explanations on Mars.

It's MARS. It's the surface of another PLANET. And we're looking at it.
It blows me away. I thank God I was given a chance to see this kind of thing.

Today, science fiction conventions often host slide shows or parties on the same theme. We caught one of the earlier Mars probes. *laugh* Someone had pasted Marvin the Martian onto the last slide with a sign saying "Go Home!" The crowd yelled, "Put it on a t-shirt!" and someone did. Doug has that shirt now. Last Archon we attended, there was a panel on cutting edge space discoveries, which was really exciting. I got some good poetry out of that one.

They'll read articles about it and say something about it being 'nice' or 'good'. I'm a bit lonely on the excitement front.
Yay Phoenix!

As for Marvin the Martian, I was able to see the JPL guys back in action back at the start of the MER operations, and they love that stuff. Many of them like to find the comics and spoof articles in the newspapers and cut them out for display in offices and on walls. Some are wacky, some are predictable, some are actually pretty creative, but they are all very fun :)
