Lyford, you are a *clink* genius.
Moving Again and Victoria Inspiration are fantastic.

I think that a movie idea I have has just found its soundtrack.

Agree, I'm without words, it's fantastic! ohmy.gif blink.gif biggrin.gif

As someone suggested earlier, the intervening ridge could make that difficult.

Can somebody find an exemple of a terrain where Spirit went by that represent the 9° steepness limitation due to the right front weel Steve is speaking about ?

(Again, admins please move me if this belongs in EVA...)


You absolutely did my friend, you absolutely did. smile.gif

Like many others I'm starting to feel rather humbled by the talent gathered here. We have musicians, geologists, engineers, writers, scientists, map-makers, imagers... Just think about that mix. What does that sound like to you..?

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should declare ourselves the first true martian settlement. smile.gif

Seriously, excellent work lyford, very inspiring. I only hope Steve and the rest of the gang get to hear your music. I so often wonder how much of "our stuff" makes it into JPL and into the hallowed Halls of Power. I mean, I know we don't create these musical pieces, images and poems for them, we do it for ourselves and each other primarily, but it would be such a shame if the pages of UMSF were as far as it all went, what with all the time, love and energy everyone puts into their creations. (And no, I;m not forgetting the stunning achievements of images being featured on APOD and aviation magazine covers; I am SO proud of the members behind those pics!) I don't want to email SS directly and ask him how much of our material he sees/hears etc, that would be a bit crass, but I'm genuinely dying to know. Not for any sense of approval or bragging rights, it would just be nice to know that a) our creativity is being enjoyed by the people whose efforts inspired it, and cool.gif they realise just how important this mission is to people "Out Here" now. I'd love to think that if we went around some of the MER-related centres and labs that we'd find printouts of images created by dilo, horton, nirgal, jvandriel, ant and our other image mages stuck to walls, people listening to lyford's music on headphones while tapping away on keyboards, and maybe one or two people reading my poems while grabbing a coffee between tasks. That would be kinda nice. smile.gif

Your music is perfectly timed and mixed. Nothing to impROVE

Thanks for everyone's kind words - I don't aspire to be the poor man's Gustav Holst, though perhaps the poor man's Tomita doing Gustav Holst.

I may have a few more musical ideas lying around somewhere.... and perhaps some that volcanopele would find more appropriate for inspiration- but that would be another thread. biggrin.gif

My theory is that during conjunction we were image starved and forced to draw upon inner talents to get by.... the UMSF Cultural Renaissance! (Not to be confused with Mars Renaissance Orbiter...)

Now - Back to the Rovers!

EDIT - ps - thanks for the link, james!

Well, it is difficult for some of us to get "back to the rovers" with the dearth of images. I did grab your mp3 today, and I must say, it is amazing. Totally unexpected on this end... The remote communication sounds you used at the beginning and the SS quotes you used throughout the piece were so perfect. I have been playing it over and over again all night in the background. That was a genius piece. smile.gif It definitely made me feel better after checking the usual sources, and finding nothing new tonight. Thank you, so much.

Well, that wasn't actual telemetry... probably just an AOL dial up connection from one of my sample sets. biggrin.gif

Hmmmm.... actual telemetry.... I wonder..... wink.gif

Bit late, Lyford, but like wow...that was both inspiring and hella cool! cool.gif smile.gif

The amount of sheer talent amongst the members here is astonishing...thanks for allowing a crusty old Air Force sergeant with few relevant skills to experience it all! tongue.gif
