Jim Bell's agreed to do a brief Q'n'A in a few days time, so similar to the one I did for Steve, I want your questions! Try and keep it quite 'current' if you can, as we're going to make this more a 'news' outlet than a look back type chat.
We're going to try, if this one works, to do these every couple of weeks or so, a bit of Rover news and a bit of Q'n'A each time, but we'll see how this one goes first! Fire away people If they're all crap, don't worry, I've got LOADS in mind. Doug |

That's one of those questions that's not worth asking, like the end of the Steve Q'n'A - I actually said I wouldnt ask how long they'll last - it's just one of those things you don't know.
When will Oppy reach Victoria Crater is like, how long's a piece of string. I could ask how agressive they intend to be with driving, what sort of thing it would take to flag up a science stop, how the rover is in terms of health - But I don't think anyone knows how long it'll actually take. I've tested Skype, and it's sounding much better now Still not perfect, but a lot better ( and infinitely cheaper ) than a phone call Things I intend to cover, some odd Pancam issues ( the white pixels down each side, the frames that are just noise etc ) - how was the resolving power of Pancam chosen - and the development of Pancam from way back in the pathfinder days. And of course, their current status Doug |
