Thanks for the UTC times, Rui. Looks like it won't be as bad for me as I thought, landing at around 2 A.M. local time. That's pretty manageable. What's NOT manageable is trying to get some sleep afterwards.

You're welcome ugordan...
 Sleep? Who said anything about sleeping?...  EDITED: I've posted a corrected version since the original one had a small error on the timing of May 25 first news briefing. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Terrific; thanks, Rui!
I'm just glad that 26 May is a US holiday (Memorial Day); gonna dose up on the caffeine & go the duration, then crash all next day... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I'm not glad that the 23rd is holiday here and not the 26...
 Crash?...Don't you dare to use that word! We're quite sensitive this days...

Apologies profound, you're right...I meant 'shamelessly sleep throughout the next day, blissfully aware of the fact that Phoenix has landed and is safe & sound'...just by way of clarification! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Hmmm. All this talk of holidays.
Just spare a thought for the guys and gals at the DSN who, no matter when, holiday or not will be working to ensure that the data gets back to Earth for everyone at the mission and of course UMSF to see. As for me, it will be Monday morning talking to the gathered public, waiting for that landing confirmation signal to come through the Goldstone complex and then, I'm hoping, the first images and surface science operations coming down through our 70-metre dish here in Canberra. Think of us while you're putting together those cool (and I mean arctic) panoramas. Go Phoenix!

I think I have had a bright idea (  )I printed your Schedule, found an old hard calendar and taped it on it. Actualy, the calendar is in Landscape format and I taped it in portrait. Now, the schedule goes all the way from february to december. What is left and still visible of the calendar is : January 2004 How do you call this? Supersticious ? Go Phoeniox, GO. -------------------- |

In my head, AstroO was SOOOOoo different!!
Brilliant way of touching the details. It's a dramatic demonstration that freefall on Earth, is about the same as falling under an enormous parachute on Mars. Doug |

Brilliant Glen, absolutely brilliant!
Have to say tho, I hope Phoenix doesn't land on the same part of its anatomy that you did...
