Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

Just watched the animation (a loooong download on dialup, but worth it! Thanks for the link!) and a whole range of thoughts went thru my mind...
Watching the initial descent: Wow, that's amazing!! Watching the Skycrane part: *****!!! Are they INSANE?!?!?!?!?! They're really going to DO that?!?!?!?! Hang it beneath a rocket platform like something off Thunderbirds?!?!?! Are they NUTS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Watching the surface operations: oh, can't wait for that... Watching the rover hang its head and go to sleep at the end of a sol: awwwwwwww........ Watching the rock sample going through the works: if THAT all works it'll be a miracle... Watching the closing sequence as the dusty rover rolls away: I want that. Now. -------------------- |

I could have covered up the member name of this post and still have guessed that Gary is back Alex, I never really left. I've been too busy working to do anything other than lurk here. Have you been involved in the latest Mars Design Reference Mission (DRM)? They tried to suck me into it but the activity is unfunded (that says something). I'd like to be more involved with the DRM but can't justify taking time off from funded work. |

I'd like to be more involved with the DRM but can't justify taking time off from funded work. I'm not sure about NASA Ames but I believe JPL has a special financial code (like 999999 or something) for recording work time on "funding: uncertain" projects, aka "The Land of No Return." |
