Am sending the same message to Emily's blog email (so the email can be counted).
I was around for the early missions of exploration ….. There was always tremendous excitement for me in seeing the Mariner, Viking, Voyager image releases. But also great frustration that these image releases had to wait for when team scientists thought a release was appropriate. Back in those pre digital pre internet days there really was no other way to do this. But now, in the days of internet, there is no excuse for holding onto images. The thrill of discovery is not in ‘pretty pictures’. It is in seeing a dot grow large in the field of view, as ‘non-optimized’ as the exposures may be. Releasing images as soon as possible lets us all truly ride along and invests far more of our imaginations and ‘spirit’ in the mission itself. We grow to feel a real part of the discovery process. We get invested in the vision, we become ardent advocates for the mission. Holding onto images is old school thinking. DAWN Team - Please release images as often as possible. Let us all ride along together. Craig |
