Well...this is a different kind of travel news: NASA Successfully Landed On Mars!
The Washington Post reported:
The spacecraft Phoenix landed safely on Mars yesterday, making a hazardous soft landing on the planet's far north with all its scientific systems apparently intact and ready to begin an intensive new search for life beyond Earth.
After counting down the last stage of the descent by hundreds and then tens of nerve-racking meters, officials at Mission Control in Pasadena, Calif., announced that "Phoenix has landed," setting off a joyous celebration by the mission team.
This marks the first successful landing on The Red Planet - Mars. Well...I'm just excited to know if there really is life form there or a possibility of a life form as what the expedition is set to find out.
