Today in Geek History

Happy Force of July guys! Fireworks galore for me! Today is July 4th and today in Geek History...

1996 The day humanity will fight against enslaving aliens to save the world. Yeah, it's Independence Day. It stars my FAVORITE actor, Will Smith.

1997 Mars Pathfinder becomes the first probe to successfully land on Mars since 1976. It was the Viking 2 that did that. Hehe. Probe.

2006 Shuttle Discovery launches for the International Space Station. It is the second mission since the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Where were you when the Columbia went down?
