moblog from Mars

Oh, this is too freakin' cool. NASA has a moblog from Spirit! (thanks to bOINGbOING for the link)

Here's the first color image Spirit sent back.

I was in Virginia working on The Day Lincoln Was Shot (something I'm very proud of, by the way) when Pathfinder landed, and I'll never forget the feeling I had standing in my hotel room, watching the photos come in. My mom and dad said that it felt like Apollo 11 all over again.

I'm really glad that the Martian Earth Space Probe Defense System didn't shoot Spirit down, because we're in for some really cool images over the next few weeks.
