This is a fantastic shot of a lander doing what landers do best, landing, on Mars. But I had to run it through my crime lab image processor to find out the real story... is that...? No, it couldn't be.

An interesting article on a potential process for deriving all the necessary elements for concrete from moon dust, without having to bring water to the Moon. And now, an image from Moon Patrol.

Of all the elemental bears, "Water bears" are the toughest, and are even able to survive in space. We tried to reach the Fire Bear and Cheese Bear kings for comment, but they have not returned calls by press time.
With Batteries Charged, Spirit Is Ready For More Science

"Spirit has fully recovered from a recent rundown in battery power. Energy has improved to levels not seen since sol (Martian day) 1604 (July 7, 2008). The hit in battery energy was primarily the result of data transmissions taking place later in the day, when less solar energy was available." Go Spirit, go!

Technology Review: Where Are They?

A well-written article on the possibility of life on other planets, and its implications for us. A somewhat depressing read, too, until you examine how much the author presupposes, based solely on extreme extrapolation of our own single history and evolution. Still, lots of interesting points here, whether or not you give credit to the "Great Filter."
