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 -------------------- |

I really, really hope you don't mean that! Oh sure. People don't realize that we are all still cowboys out here in the American West. There's always lots of hollering and shooting when we celebrate. When you get off the plane in Hawaii they give you flowers, but in the mainland states we loan our European visitors a .38 revolver for celebrations and street fights.

Climber:
I really, really hope you don't mean that! Bob Shaw We knew Oppy was going to make a Hole in one, so TPS organised a nice Ball-trap party. Well, not very accurate eh? The New Britannica-Webster Dictionary & Reference Guide tells me that Shouting will be the right word. [quote name='ElkGroveDan' date='May 18 2006, 10:11 PM' post='54796'] Oh sure.

When you get off the plane in Hawaii they give you flowers, but in the mainland states we loan our European visitors a .38 revolver for celebrations and street fights. I was trying to make people feeling some emotions by listening this audio file. I was preapared to cry once again NOT to laugh like mad reading what you write. (hope I didn't make another one...) -------------------- |

Now, for some reason, that's *exactly* what I always thought. You know, John Wayne moseys down to the bar at JPL, spots Steve Squyres across the room, there's a quick 'The hell you say!' and suddenly the piano stops playing, the crowd scuttles away from their consoles and we all start to wait for the moment when Emily hits somebody over the head with a 'Whiskey' bottle... ...then the fighting stops, they start boiling water and there's the sound of a baby crying. Oh, and did I mention the smoke signals? And the Sheriff is never, ever a n(DONG!DONG!DONG!)... Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

OK, OK, OK.
Doug, can we move this topic from Spirit to Oppy so we'll continue to fight over at Victoria ? I'll be on the FAR side of the rim with the 0.38 revolver (thanks ElkGroveDan). Help ustrax, HELP.... By the way, did somebody listen to the file ? Edit : what are you doing ElkGroveDan? You're supposed to be on the FAR side too... -------------------- |

Then you glance out the window, study the desert scenery and say, "Hey wait a minute, that's not the American West! It looks more like Sardinia! We're in the middle of one of those Italian knock-off films!"

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!" ? |

Yep. Mike C. mentioned that here once. You never can get enough of that audio. Same with Apollo 11. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

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... In Mike Caplinger's own words, exclusive to UnmannedSpaceflight.com: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...indpost&p=38765 That's the one! Now, back to those cowboy films... Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
