Perhaps a new topic is in order at the very special occasion of 3000 sols for Oppy. Congratulations to everyone on the team for what's become a truly epic mission. And with a whole new destination ahead of her: Tribulation!
The MER filenames clock has now turned to sol 3000, a bit before the jpl site and SPICE: |

I absolutely love this poemster!
"Opportunity's heart-flame of exploration still burns bright, The rover that should have died long ago Refuses to go softly into the Martian night." 3000 sols, wow! Just today, I met a fellow who still works at Rocketdyne, was involved in producing some of the components for the MERs and the upcoming MSL. We had a few laughs about how cute it was to have a MER drive over me at a JPL open house, while letting MSL drive over me seems like it'd hurt a lot! If it's okay to blow your horn in this thread, perhaps this is a nice time to mention that I played on a soundtrack with John Lee Hooker and Miles Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNuEsiVAJmE...feature=related -Bradford Ellis = brellis |
