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"

Is there actually anyone here in favor of the 'other' target?

Well...ustrax bows to their memory and feels very small knowing that, somehow, life made his terrestrial path cross on another planet the path of heroes. I told Steve in a kind of joking way that I was going back to studies on a different area from the one I've followed, and now that is a promise. To honour the crew of the sts107. http://www.astrosurf.org/lombry/Documents/...ew-columbia.jpg -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
