FINALLY! (Also: Cool Shit with Mars and Mercury)

Scooping up dirt on Mars:
"RA Acquire Sample with Rac Doc" is the instruction. This note and the corresponding lander code tells Phoenix to scrape up the first ever scoopful of Martian dirt. It's no ordinary scoop of Martian dirt. This scoop is a milestone in a long journey-one that took centuries to complete. It's the first human experiment ever done on the arctic plains of Mars. And a tiny step in the process of one day getting a man to Mars. A small camera mounted on the robot arm documents the moment for posterity.
Damn. Between this, our first up-close pictures of Mercury, and Burger King (fucking finally) figuring out how to make a pseudo-McNugget (I can understand centuries to get on Mars, but 28 years to crack the code on McDonald's McNugget? Really?  And you're a "the king of scientists"?), this is a helluva week to be alive.
