I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

The icy soil in the Mars environs, looks and seems to behave like this children's toy called "Floam" here on Earth at STP. Maybe they should try that in their test bed to see how best to manipulate the samples on Mars.

It looks like a fun project to try at home: How to make Floam -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
