Don't get me wrong, I would love to see more images released from this mission, but I still don't understand the uproar at THIS point. I understand what you are saying about wanting to follow Dawn's journey to Vesta, but quite frankly, from my understanding the pictures taken now wouldn't look all that different from the one they already released. Now of course, once Dawn gets much closer and features are resolved, I would clambering right along with you guys to see more.
But I think that for the time being, patience is needed with the camera team. Nothing wrong with voicing your desire to see more images because that helps to arm the E/PO folks on the mission with ammunition to take to the mission leads of the public interest in the project, though. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
