Default A Mission About Hope

Hey all,

I finished this musical video about the Phoenix Mars Lander last week, and thought you'd enjoy it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGSjZVNibqU

We're less than two months from landing our latest robotic scientist on the red planet, and getting to know a part of Mars that we haven't seen up close and personal yet. Each new mission reveals our Universe to be filled with so much diversity and complexity, revealing an almost endless stream of surprises. All of this meshes our human history and experiences into the larger saga of the Universe, enhancing our perspective about our very existence. How can we not be inspired in this era of such incredible discovery?

Have fun!

Davin

I linked to your video as a birthday present for somebody on Starwars.com

My children watched it twice instead of a bedtime story. In fact, I had to promise to bookmark it to get them off to bed.

That was really amazing - the video, not skipping the bed time story
