This is quite simply amazing. Mars Landings.


Can see why the Shuttle tends to get less attention these days when this sort of thing is possible.

Celebrating

How does one celebrate a victory? The question arose following my beloved AFC scraping through against Staines, and I have no satisfactory answer. The common answer is to get blind drunk, however that inevitably leaves you with feelings of crapness on your first morning as champions in whichever domain the triumph occurred - a time when the buzz should really be kicking in.

I remember something similar after the Rugby 2003 World cup triumph. At the time we attempted to swap ideas between us and the Aussie fans in Flanagans, Wien, on how to behave when winning and losing respectively . We felt we could bring a shedload of penalty disappointment to the table, and they could bring a wealth of experience at winning in just about anything they take part in. Unfortunately they didn't seem interested, apparently more focussed on ensuring that the losing did not happen again ( after France 2007 they must regret not taking our advice).
