A PR failure - but not a failed mission by any stretch of the imagination and I'm dissapointed to see people HERE who can't see beyond poor PR.

A PR failure - but not a failed mission by any stretch of the imagination and I'm dissapointed to see people HERE who can't see beyond poor PR. Doug If an apple fell in the forest, and no one is there to observe the event, there would be no law of gravity. Failure to publicly release data in a timely manner is more than a myoptic PR failure. By the time the ESA's Huygens data was/is finally put into the data base, almost no one is taking the time to pull it out and dissect it - there is too much going on, too much data from other sources that is easier to find and study. Both Stardust and Ligo have enlisted the general public to help process data, and the process has clearly accelerated both the quanty and quality scientific work on both sets of data, as well as the interest in the product. (Lay programmers rewrote Einstein-at-home programs, cutting the processing time in half. This lead to an early discovery of correctable interferences that improve the quality of the data.) This is the age of the internet, and no one cares about yesterday's news. |
