@fuggirls Loving this show, didn't notice those posters. Where have I heard of the Great American Staring Contest concept before? Was it on an Extra Extra Hot Great? Wait Wait Don't Tell Me?
@CJMillerWrites We tracked down and ordered a giant jug of the thick peppermint sticks back before the internet - I can't imagine how - but it was totally worth it to have lemon-peppermint things (no real name?) all-year-round.

If you watched the Mars landing today, the voice you heard was @DrSwatiMohan. She immigrated to the US from India at age 1, was inspired by Star Trek at 9, then earned a B.S from Cornell in mechanical and aerospace engineering, and an M.S. and Ph.D from MIT in aeronautics.
