Title: Pale blue Earth light
Post by: davekill on January 12, 2014, 10:38:23 AM
While most of the nation is in the deep freeze today, a day here gets as hot as 250 F - and is 14.5 days long.

It's nice to finally revisit the moon for a look around.
These observations from the new Chinese moon rover almost bring a since of nostalgia.

Cool stuff!  It is nice to be back on the moon after all this time.

It is, but considering the source it's also a little depressing.

Very much so Bryan.  We need to get back in that game - or all that Helium-3 will go to someone else..
