Since Spirit is no longer "Running for the Hills" and it appears that she will be staying at Low Ridge Haven for the next eight months or so, it seems like a good time to start a new topic.
I thought we could start with the great panorama stitched by jvandriel, and then altered by Tesheiner. We are going to become very familiar with this view in the coming months. David [attachment=5107:attachment] (286k) |

Gee, now I'm going to be responsible for divorces.
Well, if your partner doesn't like Mars and Rovers, maybe you weren't meant to be together anyway (really kidding!) I'm fortunate that my wife is extremely understanding. I know that I have to be, as she is a fanatical Superman fan/collector. So she has no grounds for complaint...as long as I don't complain. Of course, the $1-$2K is in Australian dollars, probably much cheaper elsewhere in the world. But then what price do you place on enjoying feeling like you're on Mars. Here's a shot of our exhibit at the Canberra DSN. There's still some Mars-like soil to put in to finish it off. The public are just amazed by how large the rover actually is...they expect it to be like a small toy. Mind you, they had no idea about the size of Sojourner either. Astro0 |

Astro - I think there's a bunch of folks here who'd just love a _lot_ more photographs of that model.
