This perfume also has a full-page comic! The first of a Spacebat series, we hope.
There's not just one Mars Lander. There's a small herd of the little things up there, so it's a nice big gift basket with at least one of each cookie for everyone. They deserve it.
We must admit to a big soft spot for the Spirit rover, which scuttled around for almost five years longer than its original mission parameter of ninety days. Mars has a big soft spot for it too, apparently, because Spirit is stuck in loose soil and currently unresponsive — but even as awesome as it is, there's a chance for it to be even MORE awesome as soon as its solar-fed batteries get all charged up again and it can resume life as a stationary science platform. We wish it all the best.
We packed an assortment of Earth goodies for Spirit and friends: Snickerdoodles, pecan sandies, spice drops, and those butterscotch-covered cornflake things that don't seem to have an actual name. (this oil contains cinnamon. :) )
