Boys, boys, can we please take it down a notch? You're both understandably frustrated -- Mike because there's a history of blame games and finger-pointing in who's responsible for the overruns, some of which was unfairly laid at the feet of the instrument teams, and Mariner9 because of an instinctive worry that MSL is becoming The Mission That Ate The Mars Program and the feeling that the overruns are out of control. I'll second the remark that figuring out where the overruns are coming from is fiendishly complicated; at TPS during all the mayhem last fall we tried to gather information from multiple sources on who was running how much over budget and why and whose fault it was and in the end we couldn't get enough pieces to make it all add together. Yelling at each other in this thread isn't going to solve anything.
