(meteorobs) Nightlife On Mars
We often become very, very involved in our work
and
our hobbies. Sometimes we tend

potential for humor in those things we are so intensly
researching.
Perhaps looking at the lighter side of "what's up

PASADENA, CA — Following
last week's near-shutdown of the Galileo space probe after weathering a blast of
interstellar radiation, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were
elated yesterday when the Mars Global Surveyor discovered conclusive proof of nightlife on the Red
Planet.
While Galileo's mission has taken it nearly
twice as far from Earth as the Global Surveyor, and its data and images of
Jupiter's moon Io have vastly improved scientists' understanding of the tiny
satellite, all of its successes pale in comparison to Global Surveyor's cultural
revelation. While Galileo's mission has taken it nearly twice
