Sounds like the presentation went down very well, congrats Doug! (well worth downloading the slides too everyone, by the way...)
On a slightly different subject, wonder how many of you have come across this yet..? "Martian soil might contain life" Offered without comment or opinion, just wondered if anyone had seen it... reckon it'll be all over the news tomorrow. -------------------- |

Space.com article also a little bit bogus...
'Houtkooper presented his findings at the European Planetary Science Congress in Potsdam, Germany this week. ' Nope - he's presenting it tomorrow - 1430, 3rd presentation of session TP8 in Workshop Room 2. It's going to be my last session - in intend to deploy any and every ounce of my non existant journalistic skills to try and get somthing good out of it as a 'response' to the mass media mass hysteria interpretation of a press release.

Nice. Okay, so that's where it's at. Doug, the only answer to sensationalism and shameless publicity for its own sake is cold, hard reason backed up by known facts...and you've got 'em. Hit the arm switch and pickle off the missiles during repeated passes at the target...it is non-survivable unless something truly, madly, deeply convincing is concurrently presented in terms of supporting evidence. -------------------- 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.
