On the word “useful” in the title of this thread:
Even before the Rosetta wake-up event I was already thinking: how can I make a useful contribution to UMSF given my close proximity to ESTEC, Darmstadt. Even CNES is within reach for me. Bear in mind, in those early day’s Emily did not even hint at attending the landing event. I met Fred Jansen, Matt Taylor at a mini-symposium, contacted ESA PR and yes!!! – I’m going to attend tomorrow’s parallel media event at ESTEC. In the meantime: - ESA has expanded its public outreach way beyond my wildest expectations - VikingMars is attending the landing event at the Cité des Sciences in Paris - BBC, Nature, Spaceflightnow, and many, many more authorative news sources are providing near enough blanket-coverage - the ESA livestream is starting up any minute from now - and really, really useful: Emily is in Darmstadt the whole week! So what is there left to do for me that is even remotely “useful” for fellow-UMSF members?? I guess tomorrow the usual outstanding signal-to-noise ratio will be temporary shifted towards noise. I for one hope to shout LANDING! In the meantime I’ll take a big bag of peanuts to the gathering at ESTEC to share with real journalists. Go Philea! |

- VikingMars is attending the landing event at the Cité des Sciences in Paris ...not only attending, but also Co-Organizer of the event in Paris with CNES and ESA : the only other official one organized with Press and VIPs outside ESOC ar Darmstadt and it's great to know that you will be there ! Thanks a lot Harder for your nice support, much appreciated. It's already a great comfort for us knowing that you are a good relay to people about great projects such as the Philae landing on 67P Here below are some pics of the rehearsal with CNES taken a few hours ago at Cite des Sciences in Paris : hope for the best tomorrow ! ...and, on Nov. 12, minutes before the landing session starts at 15:00 CET, four members were there gathering as ambassadors of TPS/UMSF in Paris. From left to right : "Polaris", "Vikingmars", Jacques Blamont (Advisory Council of The Planetary Society) and "Climber". We were all proud being there ! We had also the President of the French Republic sitting at the front row in front of us. He told us that he had some fun looking at the "3D images" and "CIVA-P" presentations I made with "Malmer"... |
