On a light note, has anyone made any plans for 5 August? It is, after all, less than one hundred days away now, and I'm sure Mars is getting very big in the window for ol' Curiosity.
I hope they'll get a webcast going. I'll be frantically clicking on 'refresh' on here come what may!... [MOD NOTE: Topic moved to Chit Chat for obvious reasons.] |

On our side in France, we, at Societe Astronomique de France (which represents also TPS in France) and at the Mars Society, are planning to do a live event in Paris like we did before for the landings of MPF (1997), MPL (1999), Spririt and Opportunity (2004) and Phoenix (2008), with a NASA-TV internet feed.
The only problem is that the MSL lands early Monday morning (August 6) for us, around 5:00 am ECT and that our National museums are closed in Paris at this time. It's difficult for us to have them open at night for the Public, especially for safety measures (we need a minimum of security and at least 1 fireman), and we are working hard on this. I'll keep you informed |
