"This handout annotated image, released Friday, Oct. 6, 2006, by NASA from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the Mars rover Opportunity near the rim of "Victoria Crater." Victoria is an impact crater about a half-a-mile in diameter at Meridiani Planum near the equator of Mars. Opportunity has been operating on Mars since January, 2004. Five days before this image was taken, Opportunity arrived at the rim of Victoria, after a drive of more than five miles. It then drove to the position where it is seen in this image." (AP/NASA,JPL,Cornell)That's ours. The Rover, even the satellite that snapped it's picture. Of all the nations on earth, we alone can look to the heavens and feel such pride.
It is good to be an American.
