Yes, men are from Mars. /

A Wookie mistake.

Olympus Mons is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars. The volcano has a height of nearly 22 km as measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter. Olympus Mons is about two and a half times Mount Everest’s height above sea level.

Haiku (and photo) to you Thursday: “Persevere”
Persevere
Perseverance quests /
Outward on Mars to explore /
Our questions within.
A cup of Mercury
I swallowed from the cup of Mercury
to cover my absurdity.
The ambrosia of Venus
was cloudy in toxic meanness.
I raised a toast to ol’ Earth
the land of mirth and birth.
I’d thought I’d reached the stars
but was only a sip of Mars.
“Here’s mud in your eye,”
I said to Jupiter by and by.
I left a ring around Saturn —
just following an old pattern.
I drank from Uranus
though you thought me an ignoramus.
Things got kind of blurry
drinking from Neptune in such a hurry.
I got blotto on Pluto —
as a planet I couldn’t let go.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Curiosity”
Curiosity
builds wonder from achievement
and knowledge from hope.
[Editor’s note: inspired by the recent successful landing by NASA of Curiosity on Mars. Worth all the medals at the Olympics, and then some.]
Curiosity, the latest Mars rover, with some of her cameras pointed out. This 1-ton vehicle and science lab landed by NASA in the early morning of August 6, 2012 Eastern Time.
