I managed to get the ear of my congressman last night and I gave him an earful about...
...restoring space science funding. Hey, as much as I complain about untimely release of data, I am much, much more concerned about the untimely delay of launches

I came very close to an April fool's prank, announcing a major release of Rosetta Mars flyby images with some doctored views from Hubble. I changed my mind at the last minute...I thought it would be in poor taste. But I really would like to see more of the approach and receding Osiris and Navcam shots.

ESA ESTEC Communications staff is tripled
Our wonderful communications officer, Monica Talevi, has been working alone for two years. Starting this week, she has been joined by two new full-time assistants. One hopes that the results of this will become apparent in the near future. -don -------------------- --

Thanks Don, that could be very encouraging news. I hope the new people are given the resources, support and encouragement necessary to catch up as much as they need to, and help ESA's considerable successes get the recognition they deserve. I sure would like to see those crescent Mars pictures some time before the next Ice Age begins.

The 4 subframes of 6 month old VEX images were nice...but truthfully, I had to double check the date to make sure it wasn't ESA doing what Ted thought of

Well, give all of The Suits a camera each, tell them to photograph the most amazing things they see, then take the cameras off them at the end of the conference and tell them they'll get one picture sent back in the post every few months, and won't get to see some of them at all... see how they like it...
  (JOKE, okay?!?!? Don't throw me in the stocks! )

Argh...ESA has suits, too, huh? Well, that explains a lot...
 I spend about half my time at work building Powerpoints to try to explain things to suits instead of actually doing something...

I will be at Le Bourget on Friday 22, as a "semi-pro" (i do aerospace stress engineering in my real life). I hope that there will be something "UMSF-oriented" to see (I am placing my bets on the Lavochkin stand to show at least a Fobos-Grunt model).
You can find some images from previous le Bourget airshows on my website: http://utenti.lycos.it/paoloulivi/galleria.html http://utenti.lycos.it/paoloulivi/misc.html |

QUOTE (Paolo @ Jun 3 2007, 12:33 PM)  I've been there on '89 too (and on '93). Now, if I just could find the damn box with those photos of the Buran/Antonov... Btw, I came the morning *after* the Mig-29 accident. |

I was at the RIAT at Fairford in '93 when the Mig 29's crashed
 Sounds like a common thing AND - when we flew back from Malaga in October '05 - the Antonov 225 was parked on the stand at East Midlands Airport - taxied straight past it Doug |

A selection of my (mostly space) photos of Le Bourget. Note the tens of pictures I took of the Fobos Grunt and Luna Glob model
