OMG I am soooooooo sorry that I haven't been posting, but there was this dust storm, and then another dust storm, and before that it was really cold, and I just had to catch up on my beauty sleep, you know?? But people have been sending me all sorts of nice messages about my third anniversary and I just wanted to say thanks!! (I suppose you could ( Read more... )

Hi there, Earthpeeps!

NASA has me busy doing the "scoot and shoot" along the half-pipes up here in Erebus Crater. Too bad I missed this year's Winter Olympics, but I bet I could qualify for the ones in 2010! (I'll be back by then, right? Right?)

Anyways, I wanted to say hi to my newest Maritan buddy, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter! (Maybe we can ( Read more... )

I see my sister has updated her journal again. Sometimes half a planet is just not enough space away from someone ( Read more... )

I see that sister of mine is showing the whole world her solar panels. Well, if that's what she's got to do to get attention...

Sorry, been busy taking pictures of -- you guessed it-- rocks! At least I'm not stuck in the sand anymore!! I don't think I'll ever want to go to the beach again, LOL!!

But now I'm outta that dune and as soon as my ( Read more... )

Okay, so my driving isn't going so great lately. First I had a little wheel problem, and then I kinda got stuck. I'm sure that I can get out,so I am not panicking. Definitely not panicking. But until I can get some good advice from the guys on the ground, I'm kinda hanging out here. The scenery is getting a little boring, as if it wasn't boring ( Read more... )

So apparently I have to stay on this dumb planet and keep looking at rocks for even longer!! My panels are going to be sooo out of style by the time I get home! But in happy news, guess who broke her sister's driving records for total distance travelled (4.8 kilometers) and total distance in a single day by going 220 metres? Me, that's who ( Read more... )

Water on Mars!

Okay, back to the crater!
