Going To Mars

Have you taken a moment to add your name to the 2011 Mars mission?

I did, and I can prove it.

Mars Rover Cert

I partly did because hey, it’s Mars, and partly because one of my poker group works on the Mars Rover. I can get a lot of comedy out of “my participation” in the project. Sure, he did the mechanical engineering and figured out the mobility issues for the Rover… but I got my name on the microchip!

Of course, there’s always the old science fiction angle about not telling THEM about US, and so perhaps I’m not being sufficiently cautious (unlike, say, this guy). Maybe the only thing that will save me is that the world has a lot of Chris McLarens.
