Me and my friend were the first ones to play on that machine in troc. Saw the staff plug it in and all. Should have taken a picture of the high score when we had to chance :p

I'm up there quite a bit. I never play on that machine, but I did find it funny that it was displaying an upside down Windows XP BSOD :D

This is the surface of planet Mercury, the first image ever obtained from its orbit. It was taken by Messenger, the first human-made spaceship to orbit this scorching hell.

The image—which was taken yesterday, March 29, 2011 at 5:20am EDT—shows the surface of the innermost planet of the Solar System with unprecedented detail. Messenger—MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging—will now begin to map and study the planet in detail, following the work of Mariner 10. Mariner was the first space probe to obtain images of Mercury while flying by it in 1975. Messenger, however, will orbit the planet acquiring tons of information about its composition, geological history and magnetic field.
