Today's televised briefing has been moved to the Media Channel, with a replay at 4pm central (I think I heard that right) on the Public Channel.

When will they learn not to wear black shirts if they are going to have a black backdrop? And how can people take them seriously when they're talking about "Humpty Dumpty National Park"? That said, excellect results, especially the microscope images and the dust movie.

Interesting picture. My first thought is that the surface of hills and the Green Valley is not so scrapped (except to craters) or some tectonic accident or rugged but with smooth curves. It is like that zone was excessively powdered with volcan ashes or dusts and soft water erosion by the ice melting process. |

Have they discussed the underside lander images at a press conference as of yet? Now I see a brief discussion 53 minutes into the briefing, during the question session. Have they shown the "Holy Cow" image at a briefing so far?
Note - this might be moved to the RAC underside thread if appropriate. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Peter Smith can't stop himself from calling ALL the white stuff "ice".

I noted his interesting alternative digging strategy if the ice proves too hard to go much further down - strip all the soil off a wide area and study the ice-top topography. (Trash the national park I think he said.) I wonder how long that contingency plan has existed?

Peter said he'd going to " lay waste " to the National Park, that made me smile. Peter was grinning and smiling when he said that too. He wants to see the ice, lots of it too.......

He (Peter) wondered if the ice (as he calls it) is a thin layer that can be broken through or a thick layer that can't. But what is clear is --- horizontal or vertical --- they will dig, dig ,dig.
