With Spirit starting to get on the move again (even though it's a very small first step), I think that it's high time we got a new topic going and re-invigorate the Spirit thread.
OK. Spirit's moving again after 6 months at Low Ridge. Here's an animation of the turn (enhanced Front Haz Cam). A big cheer for our little girl at Gusev. Let's support her with lots of discussion on UMSF. Astro0 |

...drool! Wouldn't it be great if....nah, I can't say it.
Anyhow, I was late for the poetry parody party, so here it be: Dusty discoveries Glorious golf cart Roaming rusty roads Remotely reconning reviled ridges rife with refuse? REJECT! Reprogram Roam reliably, resolutely Seeking solutions subtle Throughout tumultuous terrain Universal, unanimous not Urthbound in the undertaking Victorious across half a world With a wink, the Spirit of humanity proudly declares I am no xenophobe (Why?) -------------------- 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.

Anyhow, I was late for the poetry parody party, so here it be: Although I'm enjoying the poetry parody party, I want to chime in and say I found Stu's original poem rather moving... and I'm not usually a big poetry fan. I would definitely buy the book Perhaps there should also be an anthology of MER poetry by various authors... we are certainly collecting enough examples. |

I want to chime in and say I found Stu's original poem rather moving... and I'm not usually a big poetry fan. I would definitely buy the book Thanks for that, really appreciate it. I'm now starting to seriously consider the book thing, especially as I have lots of non MER-related poems too... Maybe a MER poetry book with a part 2 of "Misc" after it... maybe some day... -------------------- |
