I love this bit from his blog (Best Image Ever) (http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2008/05/26/best-image-ever/) and thought it needed to be repeated...
Think on this, and think on it carefully: you are seeing a manmade object falling gracefully and with intent to the surface of an alien world, as seen by another manmade object already circling that world, both of them acting robotically, and both of them hundreds of million of kilometers away.
Never, ever forget: we did this. This is what we can do.
This is why I still have hope for our species. Absolutely beautiful Phil. :clap:
