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"

QUOTE (kanalje @ Dec 19 2005, 06:28 PM) I can only say, besides "Greetings", that i shall be happy if the first image showing ULTREYA in full view shows as just a big slab of blur and pasted rocks, generated by evil NASA-computers! THEN you know something's there that i'd be interested in OR -maybe those 'pasted' rocks are inside your head. Ever thought of that, I guess not Nico -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

QUOTE (NIX @ Dec 20 2005, 09:33 AM) Yup, yup. You could be dead right! But i'm at a stage where i actually value input from my head, and more so, from my intuition, MORE than "unbiased", unchallanged data. But hey, we're all on an individual journey with this mars thing, i just wanna mix it up some. I must say though, that some of the work, post production and general "cleverness" of some of these threads and their authors is and are really impressive! /Nisse |
