I wrote about this just the other day. We've got an amazing Mars landing coming up this August. Here's a video that explains the ridiculously complicated landing procedure for the rover (which is named Curiosity). If this works, it will be a towering testament to the dedication and intelligence of NASA's engineers. (Hat tip to Jerry Coyne. I found the video on his blog this morning.)

Sunday music: Mad World
Gary Jules' Mad World is the best depressed song ever. I would say it's depressing but you can't even go there, you're so taken with the singer's own depression. No, it's depressed, not depressing. It's from the movie, Donnie Darko, a favorite of mine. I love this simple, elegant song.
Still, it is an exercise in depression. The latest comment under the video at YouTube said:
