I wonder if I will ever be able to take my child to Mars...
To present him all the wonders we have lived so far. To stand with him on the dunes of Eldorado...over Victoria's cliffs...on the edge of Endeavour... The adventure has just started. A new baby, a new world, the same journeyer father... We will be there... Dinis was born on April the 5th, perfect has a baby can be, beautfiful has a baby can be. I just wanted to share with the UMSF crew, the unique crew I would choose for a journey beyond the cradle, this event. All is well. All is Ultreya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV0wPBYDQ6Y...feature=related We will be there. One day. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Oh my word - you've reproduced? Now that's a terrifying thought!
 Congratulations!!! (is it wrong that I saw the mass and size in the subject title and thought 'that's a damn small asteroid to have been detected!' ) |

Congratulations, Rui!
I know you're gonna be a great Dad; Dinis is in for a Universe of fun!

I'm pretty sure he's talking about a baby that's named after an asteroid. --Greg (Okay, I made that last part up) :-) |

QUOTE (djellison @ Apr 9 2010, 12:01 PM) I saw the mass and size in the subject title and thought 'that's a damn small asteroid to have been detected!' And as an American I saw the mass and size and had trouble conjuring up a good sense of scale. Then I read the post and thought, "Oh... baby-sized." 3.35 kg ≈ 1 baby-mass. I'm always learning something new here. Congratulations, Rui. |

Welcome to another metric guy! and don't tell me I was the only one to get it right when I saw the title!
I understand why you didn't post recentely: choosing a name in your HUGE name's database should have been quite a time consuming process! Dinis will go to Mars, Rui, be sure of this! Meanwhile, bienvenu sur Terre -------------------- |

Congratulations, assuming you literally had a child born (I never know whether or not you are using metaphor).

Congratulations Rui.
And what far distant object in the Rovers eyes will you be naming after Dinis?!
