The first minute or so of this animation showing how the latest Mars probe will be deployed is awesome to watch. It makes me briefly regret my career and/or study choices, but i'm sure an in-depth review of my comic book collection is nearly an equal contribution to the world, right?

One thing i'm waiting for is the day that we get a message from space: "Hey, asshole! Quit dropping your junk all over our planet!". That day will be an awesome day.
