Just 'cause I said I would...

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

Ok great its back on track.
And no more ocean jokes? Ok I got a most serious question then. QUOTE punkboi said: The 'Send your name to the Asteroid Belt' feature has been reinstated on the Dawn website. I did send my spouse to Mars on one of the Mer rovers, so now Dawn will fly I might consider sending myself there instead. But the distance between Mars and the Asteroid belt isnt that far. So I worry somewhat, if this will still be within yelling distance? ![]() |
