An incredible idea and calculation event that was bungled by self-serving scientists in fighting who thought it more important to write their names in bad concrete and impure air…

A sad loss for mankind and its advancement into space…


I sometime wonder if it would have been better to have positioned ‘Spirit’ and ‘Opportunity’ in the biosphere2; at least they wouldn’t have had the need to publish early…

Contacting Chris Higgins

I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I just had a story on This American Life, and had a cover story a few weeks back in The Portland Mercury. You can follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes and complaints about the weather.

I'm also an iPhone developer. Working with Night & Day Studios, I helped create Peekaboo Barn, Peekaboo Wild, Big Fat Lies, Life in Short, Cocktail Compass, Nick Jr.'s A-Z With Moose and Zee, Quibble, Savage Love, and a bunch of other apps.

Note: I'm not the (apparently famous) hockey player with the same name! You'll have to find his homepage in order to contact him.
