...and congratulations to Stu, MHoward, Tesheiner, Astro0, and Doug for their cited contributions to the article!
 (Apologize if I left anyone out...the images were mostly from UMSF members...pretty damn impressive!) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE “drive, drive, drive,” Squyres reiterated. During the last couple of weeks, it's been driving like there’s no tomorrow, logging more than 500 meters just since leaving the Crete area earlier this month. And, another 160-meter drive is slated for today. Wow, those words sound like music to me ears Do the new navcams at Exploratorium as of jan-31 already show the result after that latest 160-meter drive ?? |

Thanks for the notice, Bobby. That report is one of my fave's -- it illuminates the ongoing story very nicely
Cupla thots: Steve Squyres is the Steve Jobs of robotic space exploration. Bill Nye needs to reposition his microphone so there's not as much room ambience on his PS addresses. I keep thinking of the rovers bringing Mars into focus like its part of our world - Marstralia, hehe |

In order to use up all the time between ODY passes we have postponed the imaging to Sol 1787. There should be a set of penultimate Haz on 1786, we'll see.

SS has a very tough job as well...On a much happier note, yes, another fabulous Planetary.org article! It would be great if they offered a link to a printable version, I think this is great bed-time reading, making for happy dreams of roving on Mars. |

Reminds me of when Pathfinder was active in 1997. In the morning I would dial out on my 33 kbaud modem to log onto the internet, check for updates and new images on the MPF homepage, print them out, and later in the day (at school) pore over the news during lunch. |

I had to go to a local company that sold dial up internet access for about £5/hour. Take floppy disks. Download pathfinder images onto them, take them home, and print them out on a 24pin dot matrix printer and hold it around my head

Luxury!
I had to get up two hours before I went to bed, wind up a clockwork computer, and draw what I saw on't screen. Tell that to the kids of today, and they won't believe you.

Ah, you young whippersnappers...I had to trudge over to my local college library every week in 1976 & hope that the latest issue of AW&ST had a fresh Viking photo or two! And I was damn glad to have them!
