HiRISE Stay tuned, HiFans, we'll be making a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT next Wednesday...! :-o Hmmm... is it literally something BIG, or maybe they found MPL? |

I think this is a massive announcement, almost the same scale as pushing Pathfinder images to the internet.
It represents a continuing paradigm shift. Think about it, now the public at large can suggest an imaging target for a major spacecraft. This continues the progression of more and more access. (And hopefully, more downstream support). This opens space up to everyone. I can't actually think of anything that would be bigger. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

I thought this might be the announcement because it's the only non-science thing I could think of besides MPL...not such a "big" announcement seeing as they promised to have this capability from the beginning. I remember frustratingly waiting for it to come online when I was in grad school.
