JPL’s feat

Re: your Aug. 6 article, “Rover touches down on surface of Mars”:

As a reasonably intelligent retired lawyer, I am more than overwhelmed at the collective brain power resident at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada-Flintridge. Mankind rejoices in your incredible efforts and looks forward to that which lies ahead.

May each of you know that America, and perhaps the world, is humbly in your debt.

Hey Tewks...think a little government stimulus $$$ had something to do with it?

Brought back great memories of the day that we landed a man on the moon - we were such a proud country then. With this wonderful feat perhaps that will be possible again. Thank you JPL and all your dedicated workers!

As far as I know, no stimulus money went to NASA or JPL. Do you know differently?
