"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

I ♥ Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

UPDATE: NASA is reporting that the MRO has successfully completed the aerobraking maneuver, inserting itself in orbit around the planet.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for the MRO, which will attempt a tricky aerobraking maneuver in a little over an hour. If successful, it will return more data than all previous Mars missions combined.

Today's listening:

  1. Jens Lekman: I Killed a Party Again
  2. Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice: Gypsy Freedom
  3. Trespassers William: Having
  4. The Impossible Shapes: Tum
  5. Thuja: Pine Cone Temples
  6. Kate Bush: Aerial
