((( It was one of my favorite sites and I relied on it for up-to-date news on Titan and the Cassini Mission. I just want to commend you for your great work and hope you keep providing us with your valuable insights here. Keep up the good work Jason!

Yes, and that didn't give them a great reputation (or did them any good), although they did had some sucessfull missions. The press does like to publish negative stories. This is considered news... just because the official press releases give you a 100% perfect view of the missions. Jounalists know better and dig for the "dirty" information... And they dig deeper if this info is "hidden";-) If the official press releases or mission updates mentioned setbacks frequently this would stop being news, just because they ARE frequent. Everyday stuff in not news ;-) So the best is really to follow a open policy and share information, good or bad. The results are there for everyone to see: probes keep being sent to Mars every 2 years... but not to other places (at least as often). It's simple ;-) : no press > no public > no bucks > no Buck Rogers :-) -------------------- _______________________ www.astrosurf.com/nunes
