I totally share the desire to see as many images as possible, even the uneventful opnav images. Not being in the loop as far as the thinking inside the mission goes, it's hard to say what's going on. It occurs to me that from the viewpoint of the mission investigators, it would be easy to see the public in a monolithic way; there's us and there's them. I'm not saying they are antagonistic to us - not at all. It's just that, from their point of view, they may not be troubled to make the distinction between, say, UMSF members and Joe the Plumber. In other words, they may not know enough about us or appreciate what we can do. What they may not realize is that , as someone else pointed out, they don't have to sell US on how cool the mission is. We KNOW how cool the mission is.
