I still recall watching that EVA live, and hearing Dave Scott saying "Guess what we just found. GUESS what we just found!"

(Jim laughs with pleasure) Guess what we just found! I think we found what we came for. 145:42:53 Irwin: Crystalline rock, huh? 145:42:55 Scott: Yes, sir. You better believe it. 145:42:57 Allen: Yes, sir. 145:42:58 Scott: Look at the plage in there. 145:42:59 Irwin: Yeah. 145:43:00 Scott: Almost all plage. 145:43:01 Irwin: (Garbled) 145:43:02 Scott: As a matter of fact (Laughing) Oh, boy! I think we might have ourselves something close to anorthosite, 'cause it's crystalline, and there's just a bunch...It's just almost all plage. What a beaut. I imagine all you guys are familar with the excellent ALSJ site. Really i can't say enough good things about it. |

QUOTE (PhilCo126 @ Nov 1 2006, 02:05 PM) There's an online quiz ... http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/quiz/history/index.cfm I question their question 4: "What was the first planet to be studied from space by a U.S. spacecraft?" The options given are: 1/ Mars 2/ The moon 3/ Venus 4/ None of the above I'd say "None of the above". They say "Venus". What happened to the earliest Earth observations? Andy |
