Good grief - that's been on board for >55 days and has just been sent down. I thought they were being carefull with the flash memory

Some pics that are apparently delayed are really retransmissions, which is the case here.

That pic was originally sent on Jan. 27th, but had data dropouts:

They tried it again on Jan. 29th, again with data dropouts:

Third time was the charm. They probably knew enough that they weren't too interested in it.
