In case you missed it there's 9 minutes on MSL (actual hardware visible) + 5 minutes with Dr Elachi on "This week in Space" there: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
14 minutes out of 23 regarding Unmanned, not bad. -------------------- |

QUOTE (Mirek @ Jul 25 2010, 08:38 AM)  P.S. It was me who asked him to do that.  Haha! I remember, I was with you in the "audience" in the Ustream chat room, watching. (Which was a GREAT event, BTW; anyone who missed it should try to make the next one. Thanks to JPL for letting us watch, much appreciated!) Those techs really joined in with the spirit of things, didn't they? (maybe it was just a way of coping with the nerves!) I was still hoping they'd all gather around the rover and put on a performance of "Greased Lightning", but maybe next time... -------------------- |
