Actually, "genius" is what I would apply to Stu's blog related to the drill and my image.
http://galegazette.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/time-to-drill/ He brought the whole idea of the artifacts and what they represent into sharp focus for me. Recommended reading. |

Indeed.
For some reason, I now feel like I have to go do something worthy...very unnatural emotion for me... -------------------- 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.

Ok, this seems the best spot for this. Has anyone else, in light of those pictures of the strange rock formation where a little pedestal pops up from a rock with two little light colored circles on it, thought that it resembles a satellite dish antenna for some mini Martian house?

Here is something a little special; I'm surprised nobody caught this earlier? Sol 174 afternoon mist anaglyph, based on overlapping ML and MR images I (had to use the pointing info to get the right overlap):

Could you do it as a cross-eye pair?

Thanks for the anaglyph, Airbag. I'll be sure to make a long-baseline version as soon as we move.

I didn't know where to say it, but I have something great to tell you .
About 1 week and few days, the Wednesday, I was invited by the team who have designed and build the ChemCam instrument. They offer me the trip by train and the night at the hostel and then I took the train to Toulouse. I came to the CNES (the "french NASA") and they invited me into the control room of Curiosity. I have heard the direct audio conference from the JPL !!! Great moment . And then, I have seen on screen the source code send to Curiosity in order to give her the operations to do in the current sol of this day. I've just assisted ot the begging of the operations. I can remember the live map of Mars with the day rising at Gale. I've never had the feeling to be so close to our favourite rover . I had some discussion with the Co-responsible of the ChemCam. He said me that they are amaze by my work on the images, and thay want me some pictures to conduct an exhibition at Toulouse campus. 25 images are currently selected, as far as I can recall, and they will be print at a very BIG size, and put around the full scale model of the rover. It's just great. I'd never imagined that two weeks ago. And as bonus point : they will add a new image galery on the official website, filled with some of my work . Isn't that great ? -------------------- |

Well deserved. I always enjoy your images, but never take the time to thank you. Now seems appropriate -- thank you!

Damien, I was RP1 that day! If I had known you were on line I would have said hi! I share the opinion of others that your images are stunning. Next time you are "on shift" send me a PM.
