The Washington Post has a good summary article on the NASA Mars rovers and comet mission, with photos. I’m already using the latest photo as my desktop background, but I’m really looking forward to seeing the full panorama when it arrives.

This is more a note to myself than anything, but you might find it interesting as well. JPL has put together an overview called the Basics of Space Flight, covering topics like orbital mechanics, experiments, and communication. It’s supposed to have a bent toward unmanned missions, but a lot of the principles are the same. I look forward to reading it.
