For those of us who love lace and space- Hedgehog from Mars!

Actually, this Hedgie is on Mars, near the Pathfinder lander. Find it mapped in relation to its fellow rocks at: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/MPF/imp/names/ne.html (It's a slow loading page, but well worth it!)

Think about this: without the miniaturization techniques originally developed for the Apollo program, you wouldn't have a desktop PC, laptops, 3-D game graphics, cell phones, cable TV, the Internet, CAT scans, MRIs, or any of a thousand other things we take for granted. Some of those things just make life easier, or more fun, or safer; some of them save lives daily.

Think of what you've gained before you criticize a program dealing in a horrifically harsh environment with machines built and maintained by humans who make the same kind of human mistakes you do.
