I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

I read that as, "Well, the stuff is in the oven anyway. If we do manage to deliver ice how are we going to interpret the data with a mixed sample? Might as well cook this one up and be done with it."
With regards to Shaka's question, can they determine the H/D ratio from the evolved stuff? (If they can, the H/D ratio of the ice would be lost since both would probably sublime equally well within experimental error. So they'd need a fresh ice sample in the oven, not a used and abused concentrate.) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

With regards to Shaka's question, can they determine the H/D ratio from the evolved stuff? That's my reason for anxiously awaiting TEGA analysis of an ice sample, though I am ignorant as to what info is expected to be gleaned from the ice. I wonder if detecting ice-bound volatile organics is in anyone's wildest dreams as even a small possibility. |
