WDD (Wonder Deficit Disorder)

A co-worker pointed out that NASA has redesigned its Mars rover website. I wonder what it says about our society that photographs and videos (including this stunning Martian sunset) from an alien planet aren't enough to keep us interested. We need to put it all up on a snazzy web site with spinning planets and flashing buttons.

I suspect it only confirms one of my favorite quotes, from G. K. Chesterton (appearing with slight variation throughout the web):

"We grow arid not for lack of wonders, but for lack of wonder."
