So the guys over at the NASA EDGE podcast are hosting a Mission Madness contest. This takes after the basketball March Madness here in the states. smile.gif They told me I'm responsible for making sure Phoenix wins, so I'm asking for help in the voting process. There are some biologically infested missions in the brackets, but it is vastly dominated by unmanned spacecraft. Spirit & Opportunity are on there too, but you can vote for Phoenix and the rovers without any conflict until near the end. I can't divulge any more about the brackets until Monday, but I've already filled out mine and Phoenix has a difficult bracket!

It officially starts Monday. The website is here: http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/missionmadness/index.html

Paolo's words echo my thoughts very well.

Given that - I'm going to close this thread.
