Space Nerds Become Sports Nuts

NASA launched “2009 Mission Madness” setting favorite missions against each other.  The first round ends today. To vote for your favorite missions, go to:

http://mission-madness.nasa.gov/mm/bracket.html

HiRISE is on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), but MRO in its bracket is currently losing to LCROSS, which is some moon impactor mission that hasn’t even launched yet!  Ridiculous!

You can vote as many times as you want:

  • Click on the mission
  • Click on the blue arrow to move it into the next round
  • Click the big basketball in the center to submit.

Also, you should vote for the Mars Exploration Rovers.  And all things Mars related. Oh, and Voyager 1 and 2.  Oh, and Cassini.

GO MRO!!!!

    Yeah, this is embarrassing! We can’t let MRO get kicked out in the very first round!

    (Clementine could use some help, too – they’re tied with some sort of fancy plane wing!)
