Is it just me or does the Happy Face not look quite as happy as
it used to: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990315.html http://barsoom.msss.com/education/happy_face/happy_face.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (djellison @ Apr 10 2006, 12:01 PM)  depends on lighting angle and viewing angle I guess. Doug No, I think Galle may actually be depressed. We should launch a mission to drop a whole bunch of prozac into it, in a gesture of interplanetary good will. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
