The number of public target images is very impressive imho. Malin might likt to hang on to his data very tightly, but this campaign of public imaging is to be applauded!

Also - the next 6 months of MOC imagery should be released soon.

Would someone please explain to me why one person or small group has such control over images that in many cases should be in the public domain? I understand the priorities of scientists, but how is that just because Malin made the camera, he gets to control all the images as well? Where is JPL in all this?


--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853

He doesnt get to control all the images at all. Just like any PI - him and his team and invited scientists have access to the raw data for 6 months before going public with it.
