Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

One for the romantic physicist:

Andromeda - The Banks of the Lethe

"The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy."

Andromeda - The Honey Offering
