You may want to ask why this topic now ?
As I previously said, I was in Pasadena with TPS to witness Spirit landing. TPS tapped the event and broadcasted it on the Planetary radio. The file is now hidden somewhere in the database but I still have it on my computer and it make me cry every single time I listen to it  . These are very tense moments and all of us know how EDL ended up, but, anyway, if you've never listen to it, it realy worth it. You can choose between MP3 and Windows Media : http://www.planetary.org/radio/show/00000100/Enjoy... and listen to me, I was one of the many shooting  Climber -------------------- |

QUOTE (climber @ May 18 2006, 09:58 PM)  The audio file, please Climber - that was absolutely brilliant. Tagged and saved. I'm amazed in hindsight that no-one at JPL appeared to be listening to MGS\MOC messages about data volume and timing of the signals received by MGS. Am I right in thinking that that is Mike Caplinger and not Mike Malan showing remarkable restraint in not screaming down the line "It's on the ground and sending us data by the bucket loads you idiots!" ? |

Note sure but my understanding was that it was Mike Malin that was so calm sorting out Spirit's data out of "his" due pictures. Edit : so, if ElkGroveDan is correct, I'm wrong. Thanks for the info. We are on the same side of VC anyway

We are on the same side of VC anyway I think Mike Caplinger said in a post months ago that it was he who was telling the JPL guys that there was data from the ground there in the MGS signal, but Mike Malin got the credit as he was the only Mike that people knew the name of at MSS! Damn, lured back on-topic...

Now, back to those cowboy films... Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
