Just 'cause I said I would...
Hopefully, though, this whole episode has made its point -- NASA isn't afraid to tell overbudget missions to stand down. I just *really* wish we could get the magnetometer back on the beastie, though... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

You know, all these "Dawn ocean" jokes are a bit salty for my taste...in fact, they tide my patience!
Okay, I await a wave of criticism for that egregious flotsam... well, perhaps "jetsam" is more apropos due to Dawn's selected means of propulsion... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
