More Mars!

The rovers have been really amazing and have discovered so much. Even more amazing is how long they have lasted.

The astronauts are in town for next's week's manned flight. Even though I am not that close I can still see if from my back yard. What I do is stand on my lanai watch it on tv and as it gains altitude I can see it live.

John will take the bigger one out about once a month and stay out all night. I like the smaler one because I put my camera on it and try to take wildlife pictures. Its like a super telephoto lens.
