Not in the program, but I did see this today: Exciting new findings in offing in NASA's Mars Mission http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/485200601241614.htm "Kolkata, Jan. 24 (PTI): Scientists on NASA's Mars Mission are hopeful of 'exciting new findings' in the next two months when its latest rover Opportunity on the red planet hits a crucial stop -- the Victoria Crater. "We have not yet found the life that we are looking for in Mars. But maybe in two months from now, you might hear something really nice. So stay tuned in," said Steven Ruff, head of a NASA team from the Mars Exploration Rover Mission currently touring India. Delivering a lecture on the two years of NASA's rovers Spirit and Opportunity on Mars for thousands of school children here, Ruff said after unearthing some very interesting data in craters called Gusev, Bonneville, Eagle and Endurance as well as higher altitudes like Columbia Hills and Husband Hill summit, the rover was now inching its way to Victoria Crater. "This is by far the biggest crater located on the Mars surface and it is expected to provide vital clues to our search for life on the planet," Ruff said." Keep in mind this is an English translation, but the MER team seems optimistic about reaching Victoria and what interesting things might be found there. |

I think to months to Victoria is too optimistic (but would be nice!)... and also expectations about new findings there appear a little bit excessive! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
