You're not wrong machi. We're just beginning with that place. We'll have to send a whole university there eventually.
![]() These articles remind us of the moisture found at the Huygens landing site. At the time the surface was compared with creme brulee, though later they backed off from the implications of that comparison by suggesting that the penetrometer striking and sliding off a pebble into dry sand would fit the data. Maybe it's time to resurrect the creme brulee. |
