The European space Agency is deserved of a round of applause for getting their spaceship Huygens up to Saturn’s moon Titan and then getting it to beam back photos like this.
Officials within the already successful NASA space agency in the U.S. have naturally congratulated the Europeans, and as it happens they were in on the mission along with the Italian Space Agency (it was a joint mission); as have the Russians and other space-bound nations. Officials in China have given them the big thumbs-up too, and of course they have previously announced their intention to put a man—presumably a Chinese man—on the moon by 2010.
Liberal Prime Minister Paul (“we lead the world”) Martin of “Canada” is against spending federal taxpayer dollars on anything other than more and more nanny-state social programs for Canadians, so he just sat down on his big comfy Saskatchewan seal-skin chair and ate a jelly donut replete with the still legal trans fats and cracked open a Coors/Molson brewski. Then he faxed the Europeans and asked if gay marriages would be permitted on Titan, noting that “Titan” was a condom brand name. They replied in the positive of course, being Europeans, however in prescient anticipation of his next question, they reminded the canny Martin that smoking pot up there is not gonna happen due to a Titanic greenhouse gas thing up there, namely that you’d explode if you lit a match—this despite there not being any Halliburtons or any other American-made greenhouse gas-emitting evildoing gizmos. Martin immediately lost interest in Titan, and resumed his work. But at least it kept him away from his work for a few minutes, during which time Canada progressed.
