WASHINGTON - With just 12 days to go until its Mars arrival, NASA's Phoenix lander is functioning well and on course to be the first mission to land in the frigid, arctic regions of the Red Planet, NASA officials said Tuesday.

A planned maneuver to adjust Phoenix's course was canceled last Saturday because the spacecraft is on track for its May 25 landing, said Barry Goldstein, Phoenix project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Another maneuver is set for this coming Saturday.

NASA also released enhanced images of Phoenix's landing site, located at 68 degrees north latitude, 233 degrees east longitude in Vastitas Borealis, the northern arctic planes of Mars. This latitude corresponds to northern Canada, just below the Arctic sea, said Phoenix principal investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson.

I remember the head psychic Fabio looking guy getting punched in the face and being like "HIT ME AGAIN!"  "HIT ME AGAIN!"  "Does that make you feel any better?"  Then when he boned the redhead psychic all the other psychics were like, HAWT!

i was recently watching this over hulu.

i loved it 10 years ago or so but now.  man, it's still good from a written perspective, but is suffers from deficiencies in the "everything else" department

loved seasons 2 - 4 though
