NASA Mars Satellite Snaps 1st Public-Picked Photos 61
coondoggie writes "NASA today said it took eight high-resolution photos of Mars that were chosen through a public suggestion box the space agency put up in January. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE camera, aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is nicknamed 'the people's camera,' NASA stated. Through the suggestion box known as HiWish, NASA has received nearly 1,000 suggestions. The first eight images of areas the public selected are available online."

Cognitive dissonance I guess. They rail against bailouts that sucked but probably did save the economy from a total collapse. But then things like pretty pictures of Mars it's all 'whatever it takes!'.
What you call "cognitive dissonance" I call "having a sense of proportion".
In other news, I'm unhappy with the automotive and banking bailouts for wasting money, yet just yesterday I payed extra for a completely unnecessary helping of guacamole for my quesadillas. Clearly I am a hypocrite.

Doubt that would fix much, even if every single dollar trickled all the way down.
