QUOTE (djellison @ Aug 30 2005, 11:12 AM) Right - time's up - I need a couple of days to sort thru all the questions I've had via email ( like I asked ) and here ( like I didnt ) Doug Hey Doug... Isn't there the chance of, on Saturday, on the so awaited Q&A, you being aside a computer tuned on the forum?... That would be for us, poor exiled ones to say Hello! and Thank you! to Steve... Humm, guess that will be asking to much... And what about an autograph for me? Pleeease... You could then send it to me by mail...Pleeeeease... Humm, guess that will be considered already an abuse... ...Please?... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Yeah doug, you could give him a thank-you card that has a list of all the people from this board who wanna say thanks. Just a card with the unmannedspaceflight logo on the front and a list of names inside... nothing complicated.... or frame one of your nice pans (just a small 10x8 inch print in a simple frame) with the names listed over it of all the people from USF who wanna say thanks.. |

I doubt I'll have t'internet access whilst in Cambridge - I'm certainly not counting on it. The end result's going to be an MP3 of the q'n'a with Steve, and an article for Space Daily.
If I'm allowed, I'll record his (and everyone elses) talks at the conferences, but at lower quality ( Mini Disc recorder with a brilliant little microphone ) The names thing is something I did for Beagle 2 when I just had a little Beagle 2 Yahoo group. I did a Christmas Card the day before landing - and delivered it on Christmas eve....and we never heard from the lander again. So clearly, it was all my fault because I cursed the whole thing. Problem with some sort of pressie is that he's got to carry it all around with him, and back to the US on a plane. Dont worry - he knows about you lot and how greatful you are - one of the things I'm going to talk about is the paradigm shift created by putting the raw imagery out there daily, who thought of it, how it works, what it's achieved etc etc - BUT...if you want submit to a list, then I've made a new email address thankyousteve@gmail.com Put your real name, your forum name, and a single line of thanks - send it to that address , and I'll see if I can sort something out before heading off on Friday. No promises, but I'll see what I can do. Cut-off for that is mid-day Thursday GMT. (you've got 2 days ) Doug |

Might take an hour or two to get thru the system - but it's working my end ( i.e. I can send it an email and get one back )
Try again tonight. Doug |

It says it has given up trying to send it CODE Hi. This is the qmail-send program at santorini.globat.com.

Right - my list of questions is all written - it's about 4 pages long - but I've put it into a few catagories.
Pre MER Spirit Science Opportunity Science Rover Tech and Rover Future Blue Sky and the Future ( not blue sky as in the sky on mars is blue - blue sky as in imaginative thinking ) Those who def. have quesitons in at the moment are... Me (qiute a few times ) Sunspot, Philip, Cosmicrocker, Tman, dvandorn, Cosmicrocker again, David Ellis, Ustrax, Philip again, akuo, Garybeau, Henric, DEChengst, dot.dk, GS Norgathon, George Purcell, Ron Jones, A.Spyros, SFJCody, Helvick, Avronperlmann, Mhoward, Marsman, degrlr6328, lyford, Philip again (wow, that's 3 - good questions Philip), Paxdan, remcook, and me again Of course I dont know how much time we'll have, and I dont know how much things will change with tonights press conference - but I'll do the best I can for everybody.

I wracked my brain trying to think of the right sort of token....none of the mosaics or panoramas that the MER team, or us lot have made are worth it really - he'll have seen them all.
Then I remembered two things. 1) SS is looking forward to MRO so he can see his rovers again. 2) He wants Bootprints in the wheeltracks at Eagle Crater ( read the book ) So I added together all the names I got - picked my favorite one-liner, but changed it a bit, and came out with this - which is printed as a 7 x 5 in a little frame There's also a matching, identical one, but it's the full resolution simulated imaged - like this - http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/doug_images/purgatory.jpg and just Simulated view of.... at the top - so if he gets bored of the MRO simulated image, he can switch to the better view Doug |

Spectacular Doug! I think that is a great image (which I'm sure he will appreciate) to represent where we've been, and where we're going.

Much thanks, Doug! It looks fabulous, and I hope Steve puts it up in his office... I'm glad he knows just how much his "kids" have done for us all.

Brilliant Doug, until MRO gets into orbit and starts snapping pics I'm sure
Steve will appreciate the view from his own HiRISE "Viewport on a wall" Thanks again for the effort you put into it. It's great to be even a small part of this. -------------------- Turn the middle side topwise....TOPWISE!!

Right - I'm signing off for now - if there's any net access while I'm in Cambridge, then Myself and Nico will check in with a report on the talks we get to see, and how the Steve interview went
If you're wondering where we are... http://www.britastro.org/news/items/2005008.html back on sunday night Doug |
