Does anybody know when and how many MSL will go, or when the decision on this will be made ?

"60 Minutes" did a marvelous piece a few years ago on the increasingly desperate efforts of the French government to keep the language pure of the vile English pollution -- including an angry debate between two advocates of the idea which ended with one of them yelling "Shut up!" at the other in English. I honestly don't understand why the French are so barmy on this subject.

As for MSL: yep, it has had a DTE antenna added, and you can find an accurate picture of the new setup at http://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/projects/MSL.cfm?Project=3 . (The new antenna will be provided by Spain, and the DTE system adds fully 50 kg to the rover's previous 700-kg mass -- but they haven't had to take anything off to compensate. They are approaching the upper limits at which a Viking-type parachute works on Mars, however.)

Sure, I did have hard time in speaking English in France, specially in Paris since nobody want to listen to English unless French spoken. So I had to speak with hands! Svp un Cafe. (Please a coffee). Svp deux billets de souterrain (Please two subway tickets)... I suspect they understand but they didn't want to listen so.
