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. Astro0 Agree, I'm without words, it's fantastic! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

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 ? -------------------- |

I was imagining Spirit waking up to a signal and moving again... Great piece of work lyford!!! Looks like UMSF has also awake from a conjuction! Everybody's doing something, giving the best they have...That's just fantastic!!! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

I was imagining Spirit waking up to a signal and moving again- ... not sure if I succeeded. (Again, admins please move me if this belongs in EVA...) You absolutely did my friend, you absolutely did. 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. 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 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. -------------------- |

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. 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! -------------------- Lyford Rome

... 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...) 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. It definitely made me feel better after checking the usual sources, and finding nothing new tonight. Thank you, so much.
Now - Back to the Rovers! ... -------------------- ...Tom

Well, that wasn't actual telemetry... probably just an AOL dial up connection from one of my sample sets.
Hmmmm.... actual telemetry.... I wonder..... -------------------- Lyford Rome

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