Go, Ralph!
 Looks like a great lecture...heck, looks like a terrific agenda!

I can't go, unfortunately. I do plan to call in to some of the press conferences, so at least I can hear those. (Anybody reading this, if you're attending and want to volunteer some contributions to the blog, please PM me.)

AGU abstracts are short, not like Lunar and Planetary conferrence "extended abstracts", but at least the AGU has gotten a clue and you can download clean, printable, multi-abstract single-session pdf files. No Muss, No Fuss!.

All....
ugre ya to listen to the Whipple Lecture given, this year, by Ray Arvidson (he receives this years Whipple Award) excellent synopsis of the state of current Mars revelations (from MGS, MOY, MER, MEX,and MRO), with overview of things to come (Phoenix, etc.). Well worth listening to and some great graphics. goto http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm07/ and click on "The Importance of a Program of Mars Exploration". Warning note... I had to "End Task" this after it was over. Window would not close (I have a pc with Windows XP). Craig |

Yes, very nice video & audio of Ray's talk that I watched live. The viewgraphs weren't advancing on my SUSE Linux machine, so I'll try this later on with my laptop running Windows. Nice that we can watch it after the fact as well.
