If this is more gully-science, a little bit of me will probably die.
I'm wondering if it's old landers, or something interesting from CRISM. |

Maybe something that ties in with the Phoenix anniversary? Hard to believe it's a year since HiRISE took those amazing shots of Phoenix descending on its parachute, and then standing on the surface. Typically I'll be at work, so I'll miss it. Sure people will post the highlights here tho, won't they? (hint
 )

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'll be wondering all day now...
Stu's phone beeps... it's from Doug... * HiRISE spots family of martian yetis being swept down crater wall by torrent of water gushing out of new gully. Follow-up images show Beagle 2 sitting on crater floor, exposed after layers of dust washed away by water. Nothing special. *  -------------------- |

I was hoping the torrent of water had magically washed Spirit away leaving it on top of Von Braun!

You've have noticed a Doppler shift on an AM sequence beep if Spirit had been surfing

Seems like it's just going to be a wrap up of the primary mission by Rich Zurek.

Martian cats have been seen leaving proposed landing sites of the Curiosity rover.

Well, I missed the press conference, but I presume it wasn't too HiRISE heavy because I just saw the HiRISE PI 10 minutes ago.

For me the review didn't tell me anything much that I didn't already know. Except for MSL being named Curiosity. If I had heard that, I think I would have remembered it. However, it was a well organized and well presented review.
The questions almost seemed scripted. No stupid questions but no interesting ones either. Maybe it was because the review was so long they didn't want the questions to drag out? I was hoping for questions about future MRO support for Spirit and Opportunity. Is MRO's radar going to sweep the inner basin? If that has already happened I am unaware of it. Jack |
