Today is the nineteenth anniversary of the spacecraft Mariner 7's closest approach to Mars. Congratulations, Mariner 7! And to think that it's still able to comment on my blog after all this time and distance. Solar power really must be great.
Oh, and by the way, that's nineteen Martian years, not Earth years.

So what is it in Earth years?

It's not an anniversary in Earth years. August 5, 1969. You do the math.
You're geographically challenged, not mathmatically challenged!

Ah, to be nineteen again - any way you want to count it! Thanks for the heads up, Geo Challanged.
