Nope, no inside information. If I did have inside information, I'd be keeping it inside, and wouldn't be posting anything that would hint that I did know something.
Here is the part that caught my attention: "They [mission controllers] are also preparing to give it some additional tasks before the year is out, and inside sources reveal that these may be described in an upcoming log." And that little tidbit is imbedded in an update that celebrates at some length DAWN's arrival in the main belt. This may or may not have anything to do with other asteroids in the area (I stressed the word might ), but it does sound a little more than just routine, as in true "inside sources reveal ..." Unless, of course, Dr. Rayman is teasing everyone with trying to build some excitement over additional voltage margin checks of the ion engines. And that is not totally out of the question. |
