If you're a space geek like me, you know that NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander pulled off a pretty amazing feat yesterday. It's fancy enough to launch a 900-pound object 422 million miles into space and have it land, on autopilot, at a specific spot.
But it's borderline ridiculous to be able to photograph that object's landing on Mars from another spacecraft that you just happen to already have in orbit there.
Now they're just showing off.
