I was offer a position with the Astronaut core in 1999. The pay was laughable, and the odds of getting a ride were 1:40 at the time, which dropped of majorly after Colombia. I'm very happy that I didn't go work for NASA. So now I have a job designing fire fighting equipment, designing sensor systems to deactivating airbags when children are in the front seat, and new medical products that are going to change the way back surgery is performed and reducing the operation time from hours to less then 30 minutes and will allow the patient to walk out of the hospital. Or I could go look for water on mars. But I have NOTHING to do the font kerning on Ubuntu.

I'm just saying it's funny that they had no way to detect water ON THE LANDER. It looks like the thing is dripping wet. Maybe they didn't expect to actually land IN water, but couldn't they have come up with a way to detect if the lander was dripping with some sort of liquid! Seems like there should have been some sort of simple test to see if it was liquid. They could have vibrated the thing to see if the drops wiggle.
