The service tower did not move ? wow.

One assumes if these ones break they can swap back ?

"New Horizons was still too far from Pluto (3.6 billion kilometers, or 2.2 billion miles) for LORRI to resolve any details on Pluto’s surface – that won’t happen until summer 2014, approximately one year before closest approach."

Some moterways to have some lights turned off.

Report on BBC.

We saw the launch last night in real life from our location in Orange Park, FL. The Delta 2 looked like a large firework rocket at first. Then an orange light which noticeably accelerated. We have seen the Shuttle launch several times and also I think one of the Rovers.

MRO in normal ops is good news.

I remember when Victoria crater was but a couple of pixels on a image.

Well they must have great faith that Oppy will be able to drive forever...to add all those extra Km to avoid the bigger dunes. I am sure Steve never mentioned this when they first decided to head for Endeavour.

When o when will we head SE ?
Does anyone know what the offcial route is ?

Thanks.

The latest report says it ended up in the ocean.

Those two men need a good manicure !!

Let's hope the mirrors are the correct shape.......

No.11 waves to no.9 lol.

An interesting curved drive over a small dune......testing perhaps for future long long drives ?

Yer that flash stuff is a pain in the ass. Also the site won't respond for me either here at work......Also when you click "download" it loads it into the browser instead of saving it to your disk........

Why did Oppy spend 2 months going no where ?
I think I missed something.......?

You know it's nice to remember we have pictures from the surface, I had not seen that in many months and it brings back a nice warm feeling of a successful mission.

Looks ok to me in Firefox 3. It is a little slow but not much.

Then it screwed up on this page......

The "Millenn"

seems some fine tuning is needed.

From a BBC caption of a Full Moon...

"The moon will appear high in the night sky"


Don't full moons appear on the horizon, just after sunset ?............

BTW tonight the full moon will appear bigger as it is closer to the Earth.

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that sounds powerful.

What about the female explorer.... Alexandrine Tinne (1835-1869)

""But none rises higher in my estimation than the Dutch lady, Miss Tinne, who after the severest domestic afflictions, nobly persevered in the teeth of every difficulty." - Dr. Livingstone, explorer and missionary."

Thank you Dr. Stern. My name heads deeper into the abyss.

Hopefully MSL will experience at least 6 seasons of duststorms. That will be a lot of dust.

I noticed that too.
