I know this picture doesnt look like much. It's grainy, it's bleached out quite a bit
But you owe it to yourselves to look at that picture, and think. There is a rover climbing a hill on mars. Isnt that amazing? If you think hard enough - you can actually imagine being there. Walking with a rover, that we sent half a billion km's to a whole other world. Sometimes, an image will just catch me off guard and I'll go "wow - LOOK at what we can do!" Doug |

Well - there's a LOT of lurkers here. The give-away was when I accidentally made several forums members-read-only, registered member numbers increase by a third in a space of 48 hrs
![]() There's a lot of forums out there, the HZ, Space.com, Mark Carey's board, the New Mars board etc etc. Some are firmly in the kookey, some are closer to what we have here, some are in the middle and I'm sure they all get a visit from the odd mission scientist or engineer for either a bit of comic relief, or enjoyment ![]() Doug |

I believe that in all of us there's the same ingredients that are in staff back at NASA/JPL, people who in their childhood dreamt of the distances, of new worlds, of the thrill, people seeking in the far bright of stars, in the dark emptiness between them, answers. Answers that make us, Humanity, move higher and further. The only difference is that they get paid to do it... I remember my dossier, filled with news from space exploration back in the eighties...Then Highschool and another road: advertising... And now, thanks to the MER mission I'm back in space and I guess I'll never leave it... So...Guys at NASA, guys at JPL, guys with their heads in distant worlds but with their feet on the ground, guys...Thank you so so much for following the dream of us all. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
