There’s a Martin Mars dropping water on Mt. Wilson. That is so cool! I wrote a post about the Martin Mars back in 2005; definitely follow the link.

Update: Aha! “Super Scooper” equals “Martin Mars”. I had no idea. I knew the Super Scooper was coming, but didn’t know that it was an old friend. (There are two Martin Mars left, and my dad once flew on one them when it was still a passenger plane. And I’ve been almost close enough to touch one. See the first link.)

Update: Whoops! The Martin Mars is not the Super Scooper; apparently we’ve got both working down here.
