QUOTE (Stu @ Sep 6 2008, 11:22 AM)  ESA is definitely making progress here. I think they are - the VMC images, the Rosetta blog - they're beginning to 'get it'. Osiris and Navcam images straight onto the web overnight would have been the full gold standard  Doug |

Guess we can assume that we are "guilty" for part of this change...aren't we? I believe that, beside its inner policy, ESA wasn't really aware that there were so many people interested in their endeavours...since they earn that conscience things have been changing in a quite quick manner...
