If anything, astronomy teaches us about perspective. With the success of the Phoenix Mars lander, and multiple devices on and around Mars, the International Space Station coming together, Cassini and the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, these are exciting times for astronomy and space technology. I also am excited about the Hubble Space Telescope repair mission-probably the last space shuttle voyage not for station assembly or repair. Of course the elephant in the room is the retirement of the shuttle and the transition to the new Orion systems. Anyway, I'm just enjoying the Russians' Progress for now.
