Comments on: Springtime on Mars http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/12/13/springtime-on-mars/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

The clip would have been scary and also funny in ~1985, but alas no computer generated animation in that era. It is akin to "funny cat pictures no more amuse people on the internet". In any case clip is funny but on that side of spectrum close to infra-ridiculous. MARS will be won, most probably in our life time (statistically averaged).

That said, I'm still grinning now, watched it five times over, and I'll be posting this link to a few people too. Thanks for that bit of light relief. If only they _would_ send that many probes to Mars - and wot no manned landing yet? ;-) ROTFLMAO!! ;-)
