It truly is amazing that the landing went off without a hitch. A very technical landing' date=' planned from a completely different planet. I'm so pumped right now. :D[/quote']

Nice big picture article that really sums up my personal perspective beautifully.

That article touches on a lot of controversial points (like climate change BS), not sure why the author decided to turn a science achievement into some massive political statement.

I think you got caught up in the whole polarized politics and missed the point of the article, which is that massive achievements are still possible by concerted human effort no matter the odds (if you are able to check your individual politics and religion at the door and get to work).

I agree, but it just seemed like the majority of the article was intended to push the author's political opinions and/or place blame on different political reasons for the lack of our progression in science. Either way, definitely a positive step for mankind. It amazes me how these types of projects get funded at all in our current state of economy.
