Three years ago the Spirit and Opportunity rovers landed on Mars and I was quite excited. I think I even tortured my staff with some monologues about exploration and innovation and then launched into metaphors based on Mars exploration. I wont do the same to you....their numb stares reminded me that it is only a narrow slice of humanity that is excited. But, if you want, like any great story, there is now a movie - Roving Mars. It is a little slow but with beautiful images from the red planet... no martians yet though. I did hear from my friend Grant today that Wall-E is good and there's an uncanny resemblance...
