You went to the hospital?
It was no good.
What's going on here?
What's going on here?
That seems to be the question, all right.
See, you could ask the major,
but he don't know.
He's busy.
He's busy trying to figure out
how come the officers' mess
run out of peach ice cream.
The general come up to see the show.
All he knows is there ain't no show.
Now, the major,
he's looking at the general.
He's thinking to himself,
"I better do something."
You know what that means.
I don't want to be
the first one across this field.

Phoenix on its way to Mars / Lander streaks for Red Planet's unexplored arctic
MARK CARREAU Staff
Sun 08/05/2007
Houston Chronicle
CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. - NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, a robotic geologist, roared into space on Saturday, kicking off a 10-month journey to the Red Planet's unexplored north pole.
Phoenix is the centerpiece of a $420 million mission that will attempt the first landing in the Martian arctic.
The probe's robotic arm was designed to dig for water frozen underground and search for signs of chemical activity linked to microbial life.
Evidence of vast amounts of underground ice was uncovered at both poles of the planet by NASA's orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft five years ago.
If confirmed by Phoenix, the findings would raise the prospect that cold, desertlike conditions on Mars might once have been warmer and favorable for some form of life. Water would prove a valuable resource for future human exploration as well, according to Peter Smith, the University of Arizona researcher who serves as the mission's chief scientist.
"We are now on our way to do great things on Mars," said Smith.
Saturday's predawn launch atop a Delta II rocket initiated a 423-million-mile journey that will end with a risky landing next year on May 25.

Problems with a relay radio on a satellite orbiting Mars interrupted commands from Earth to the NASA's newly arrived Phoenix lander on Tuesday, delaying plans to flex the spacecraft's robot arm for the first time.
Phoenix touched down on the plains surrounding the Martian north pole on Sunday night.

Subject: Science
I read earlier today (now yesterday because midnight has passed in the few minutes I worked on this note) the article that this article references in the first paragraph.
I think about the notion that great discoveries with telescopes was easy when telescopes were a new invention.

In science today, a genius never works alone
Future discoveries are more likely to be made by scientists sharing ideas than a lone genius
Athene Donald
The Observer, Saturday 2 February 2013
It's a brave man who claims "genius in science has become extinct". But that's exactly what psychologist Dean Keith Simonton declared in Nature magazine. By this, he meant that neither the creation of a totally new discipline nor a revolution in scientific thought was likely to be forthcoming as the result of the work of a future lone heroic genius. If such radical developments were to occur, they would emerge from the work of large teams, he argued. Thus the world was unlikely to produce a further Newton, Einstein or Darwin and he saw this as a tragic failing.
I tend to agree with his analysis of how future discoveries will be made, with the possible exception of purely theoretical challenges: think of Andrew Wiles and his proof of Fermat's last theorem as one exception that proves the rule. But for experimental sciences, a lone researcher transforming the world is harder to imagine. No individual can sit down at a bench and nail down the existence of the Higgs boson; the Large Hadron Collider is needed with its concomitant community of researchers. Even the theory predicting the existence of the Higgs boson was not done solely by Peter Higgs. Although his alone was the name attached to the putative particle, several others had similar ideas at around the same time.
But does this matter? I don't think it does. The heroic genius was always something of a myth, convenient shorthand to make it easier to make a narrative out of the act of discovery; an exciting tale, but not a very accurate depiction of how science and scientists operate. Newton wrote: "If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants", recognising that his discoveries did not come about in isolation. Why should discovery need to be the work of a single mind to make it exciting? It will be just as important whether it is the product of one brain or one thousand.
Concentrating on the brilliance of an individual is to falsify the nature of most scientific research and mislead the aspiring scientist as to how discoveries are usually made. Why should it be attractive to the young to believe they need to be solitary workers – the white-coated, wild-haired boffin of too many films – if they are to succeed? Some scientists might fit that picture, but far fewer than you'd believe from their media portrayals and it's an image likely to be off-putting to many.
Science progresses because people become expert in what is already known and then debate, argue, try something out and then something else when the first doesn't fit. It progresses because people reject or refine hypotheses as they learn about colleagues' and rivals' work and because people both share ideas and compete. Out of such endeavours novel ideas emerge and new fields develop.
Perhaps there will be more geniuses in the future, perhaps not. Science will always attract people with astonishing minds. But these will never be as important as the broader social structures of science, let alone as important as they think they are. Fundamentally, what matters is that, as a society, we continue to push at the boundaries of scientific knowledge in whatever way is appropriate for the challenge in hand.
