A big Happy Birthday to Doug (djellison) who is 14.34 years (9597 sols) old today (I hope, my mars.gif maths is a little rusty!)

All my love from your better half.

Am sure he'll be feeling suitably embarrassed now smile.gif

I've recieved a few Planetary Geology books ( exactly what I wanted ) AND....the cake is a work of utter genius on Helen's part - I'll post photo's later smile.gif

Thanks for everyone's kind words - this place is hard work sometimes, but my god it's worth it smile.gif I cant accept thanks for this place without saying thanks to my Admin team - they've not been around long, but they're helping a lot biggrin.gif

Doug,

Happy Birthday, and many thanks for all your work in making this such a great place.

And purely to prevent any embarassment, by, for example, confusing you with the *other*
Doug, I present the following photo of you getting ready for your "33 cameras" talk to
the BAA.

Happy birthsol !

A highly impressive cake, absolutely great work. Unluckily for me it's clear that it will be impossible for someone to give something comparable to me on my birthday next month because given my interest in the Cassini misison it would have to feature that mission. Given the nature of the Cassini mission the spacecraft would have to be disjoint from the cake suspended in mid-air which is impossible - also I'm only a bit more than one year old biggrin.gif.

That is a cool cake, and appropriate one for a MER fan. BTW, is that the LEGO version of MER?

Are the cake's layers constructed to mimic the stratigraphy at Meridiani? Maybe the blueberries could be embedded, with some spilling out. And don't forget the sulphuric acid tongue.gif

Sorry - mouth full of sulphate rich dep....sorry, mouth full of CAKE smile.gif

The MER model is this one - http://www.lansbergen.net/eng/ - somehow, despite the fact that we live and work together, Helen managed to find it, print it, cut it out, make it - AND modify it to include the STS107 dedication on the back of the HGA and I didnt have a CLUE.

Right - time for some Hematite conc.... Maltesers smile.gif

Planetary Geology books … interesting … curious to know which ones?
