Triumph of the intelligent

It really is amazing to think about what we (humans) are capable of, even more so in spite of obstacles. To me it is awe inspiring when I look at the pictures from Huygens and think that there is a man-made probe on Titan's surface! The Mars landers where inspirationally, but a probe on Titan sending back pictures and data, amazing. To me this is made even more amazing when you think about the state of the world (not just currently but at anytime in our history) with the rich and powerful abusing the poor, religious people running around jihading and crusading and man fighting the natural world. The intelligent people have always and continue to rise above it all and do amazing things!
