QUOTE (Bill Harris @ Aug 24 2005, 04:10 PM) Now watch Spirit find a neat outcrop and spend the next 30Sols scratching-and-sniffing. And Ustrax will have conniption fit of Arean proportions...  --Bill  I had to go and check the meaning of 'conniption fit'...  Who made till here will resist...I guess...  But I would be verrry verrry pleased if the MER team, decided to make a little tiny minimum drive to south, that would be sufficient to wave to Ultreya... Dames et Chevaliers back there?...10mts and back?...Prrlease?...

I believe that she will spend a few Sols doing an ultra-panorama of the vicinity and then we will make our way south to the Inner Basin. There is some exemplary geology to be seen there.

You know, a panoramic view like this from some peak on the Moon would have done heck of a lot of good for public interest in lunar exploration...

That's my (first) contribution.
It's a pair of the Tmans great b/w pano and a colored rover seen from Sol 581 at the Sol 582 position. Is the rover size okay? http://xs43.xs.to/pics/05343/Sol_582_Spiri...rom_Sol_581.jpg (1.2 MB) -- blue_scape -------------------- - blue_scape / Nico -

What an amazing way to start the day!! Doug, Edstrick, Nirgal, Tman, NIX, jvandriel, Teshnier, Alan, etc., you guys have done an incredible job!! This is the second most important event in space exploration (next to the first lunar landing) and thanks to you guys we're watching here virtually live as it happens. Makes me feel like a kid all over again!

Nico (the other), nice idea! Are you able to get the Rover in b/w? Because it would looks more realistic I guess. If not, I could it send to you...
Regarding the size of the Rover, I dont know, maybe a bit larger? I guess Dilo could it know..., Dilo? @Aldo, thank you too! What a MER week that let rise men's heartbeat so high

And could you rotate the rover, Tman?

djellison: "Sept 1st."
...shall be the day they unveil the MOAP Actually, I'm glad to be back as well, just in time, and finding this place teeming with life, joy, excitement, and amazement! Wow, what can I say... what a great community this is! And of course the images coming down in the past few hours have been nothing short of breathtaking. A big congrats to the MER team for this incredible milestone! Spirit is the king of the hill! Also, isn't it wonderful that we all have the opportunity to work with near-live images as they come down? It definately keeps our spirit up

QUOTE (Bill Harris @ Aug 24 2005, 11:04 AM) ...There is some exemplary geology to be seen there. I totally agree. The recent pancams and the resultant color panoramas knocked my socks off. Home Plate is surrounded by several flat-topped mesas of similar elevation, suggesting that this area was once covered by layered rocks that have been mostly eroded away. I really don't see cinder cones, but instead eroded remnants, where a few mesas are left, protected by patches of caprock. Home Plate is still a bit of a geomorphic curiosity, but it now seems to be clearly a "plate" elevated above its surroundings...like an erosional remnant. The opposite side of the valley contains spectacular layered outrops that I look forward to seeing close-up, or at least from Home Plate. And then, what about that jumbled-up mess off to the right? Is this exciting stuff, or what? -------------------- ...Tom
