OK, two things...
NO, NO, NO, NO ...don't sacrifice one or two operational spacecraft exploring the surface of Mars at a reasonable daily cost, because another mission is blowing out. The MERs did it on a tight budget and timeline, so should others. I do agree with tedstryk, that this could be a tactic to see who makes the most noise, so if it's needed, we can start on UMSF with it's worldwide voice. Worst case scenario, we could start the MERs a Paypal account. More on that subject after the meeting next week I suppose. Until we know more, let's continue to celebrate the current milestone. Secondly... I continue to get the sneeking suspicion that Stu has come to us from the future and has been on Mars and taken the walk along the "Spirit Trail Hike" and "ticked off the Famous Opportunity Landmarks". Your words are just a little too good to come from someone who has never 'lived' on Mars. Come on Stu, confess...take us to your leader. Astro0 |
