All good things must come to an end!
My personal take: - - A great acheivement, not least in the high standards set for openness and inclusivity. All part of the evolution of modern science. Thanks Phoenix team, how amazing it has been to follow this adventure. - Heimdal Crater shot. Inspiring and gives a great sense of perspective on things. - Scudding clouds and 'varga' snow. (My personal favourite - just so evocative). - Ok, so TEGA didn't work perfectly.... but such stimulating discoveries! Future.... data analysis: - - I'm dying to find out more about perchlorates/carbonates and the gound-atmosphere interaction. Regret: - - Didn't see CO2 snow!! Perhaps a couple of clear days and.............. |
