Did you realize that we're now counting days until landing using fingers in only one hand?

I thought we were counting down to landing by the INCREASING numbers of tums, rollaids, pepcid, zantac, prilosec... etc antacid pills the flight ops team is consuming.

I'm already using hours in the countdown...
111 Hours to Mars as I write this!

QUOTE (Stu) back in January 2004, I followed their arrivals on two - yes, just two!!! - websites: NASA TV and the unmannedspaceflight.com forum You know, not to be pedantic, but you can't have. UMSF didn't exist back when the MERs landed, even in its old guise of mer-project or whatever it was. Believe it or not this is the first Mars landing for UMSF! James -------------------- |

QUOTE (djellison @ May 21 2008, 04:06 PM)  You forgot Peanuts! Sorry Doug, I hadn't read your post. The list has been amended accordingly! (and you now get two links to Mars Live for the price of one, very cunning...!  ) -------------------- |

Are you sure? I'm sure there was some kind of pre-MER landing forum up and running then... ? Oh well, thanks for pointing that out, I've corrected it. -------------------- |

QUOTE (Stu @ May 21 2008, 04:16 PM) Are you sure? Thread 1 - Feb 8th 2004 What's that, about sol 35A/15B? Was the 'yellow forum' up and running then? -------------------- |

perhaps the newmars forum? that's where I first saw the link to UMSF (or whatever it was called then).

Maybe Stu's thinking of the Beagle 2 Yahoo Group I had at the time.
UMSF's previous life as mer.rlproject.com started in Feb '04. Doug |

Before arriving here I used to be at the Mars yellow forum, but only after the landing...that's where I met Stu and knew that this forum existed...
And I saw you there yesterday Doug...

Yeah - I've not posted there in years, but they were saying nice things about the DEM movie, so I thought I'd give them the link to the proper version that isn't horribly compressed like the APOD version
