QUOTE (jasedm @ Feb 23 2015, 01:02 PM)  Who has a pair of scissors and a ruler on their desk at JPL these days? .... Digital wristwatch!! This guy - ruler, scissors, mechanical pencil, and a clock made from a gear from a 2001 Williams F1 car's gearbox. My digital watch is a Pebble though.

Aaah some things don't change...
Nice to think also that perhaps Professor Sagan had a call later that evening from a PBS executive: "Say Carl! This 'Cosmos' series we're airing, viewing figures are through the roof - it's gonna be huge!" |

QUOTE ' Photos as time capsule, these are just sublime! got any more?? The one thing that really struck me about the photos is that they are not just a screen grab of some archival film from a Discovery Channel programme, but real, genuine, personal, photos from someones album. Someone on this forum who was actually there! Yeah, got any more. What does the camera that took them look like!! |

QUOTE (djellison @ Feb 23 2015, 09:30 PM) This guy - ruler, scissors ... I think we should have a photo of all that too, just for the record (maybe B&W for old times' sake). |

QUOTE (algorithm @ Feb 23 2015, 03:38 PM) Yeah, got any more. Well you asked for it- here's my U. Arizona Lunar and Planetary Lab historical photo album, which also contains photos from the Voyager 2 Uranus encounter if you scroll down to 1986. Most of the photos, though, are of people and social events at LPL (where I was a graduate student) which are of less interest unless you were there. Note, by the way, that the "departure lounge type" monitor is showing a live parting shot of Saturn's shadow streaming across the rings- we were used to those by then, so no-one is paying attention.

Thanks for that. Brilliant.
Back in 1983 I was 17 so never knew you could do anything but play Chuckie Egg with a computer!
