But where does the skycrane go?
Having fulfilled its destiny, it flies off a mile or two away and crashes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

They have a computer generated video showing what is supposed to happen, and it is AWESOME. My husband goes into cackles of geekiness.
Yeah. It'll be landing after midnight Central time. I'll be watching the updates.
Oh, man, I'll be off in the mountains when this happens. Feh.
See, this is the shit I get myself into. No co-worker is supposed to email me and tell me I'm pretty and ask if I'm single. I don't even make those jokes with your colleague that's hot and has the accent. It's completely off limits for everyone.
And I swear, of all the shit I've been pulling today, I totally did not predictably set myself up for that.
Timelies all!

Yo Is This Racist now has a call-in number where you can ask him questions on voicemail for his podcast.
OMG I totally want to call in and yell.
14 light minutes?! That's so far!
Why is that the part that is wigging me out?
Maybe I should have invited Andrew Ti. I'm sure there are no racists on Mars.
