Steve has a new update:
http://athena1.cornell.edu/news/mubss/ And it looks like the official name for the Ultreya Abyss now is "El Dorado" I looked up El Dorado and the poem is actually quite fitting by Edgar Allan Poe (1849) Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- "If you seek for Eldorado!" -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"

Hi there..
I'm a very newbie here... but I have to say: This is the result of a vision. Great explorers earlier have visions. We can read of their efforts in our historic books. Thanks ustrax and Doug, and all others in this amazing internet community here! And not only here, this effort send rumours along the whole planet! Sure Steve understand that. I'm quite sure of that. And I have to say: What a day ! |

Congratulations, Ustrax
Been doing some serious lurking on this forum over the last few months. Every day I get home I must get me ‘fix’ of Unmannedspaceflight.com. I think you Ustrax and other members of the community, who show the world the passion for adventure, the human need to explore, to learn and create. I know I get a lot of that right here, so thanks to you all. I believe from what we see and read from Steve, we find that same passion. To Steve, (who I am sure drops by this community on a regular basis, based on some answers on his web site to questions on this forum) a very big thank-you. Thanks for the passion you bring to this world . |
