Congratulations, wish you all the best.
I assume everyone here is familiar with SAR images of several solar system objects with Venus being the most familiar example but there are some very small asteroids as well  .

QUOTE (elakdawalla @ Apr 27 2006, 03:38 PM)  ...I'll bet that not many expectant moms compare their ultrasound experiences to SAR imaging Never fear, Emily, that was only the results from the F1 encounter. There are several more RADAR passes scheduled before the birth, right?  Congrats -- I wish you luck, patience, and foresight. In that order. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Great news, congrats Emily!
Enjoy this time 'till the birth, and enjoy her (*) growing. It's a wonderful experience. (*) If I understood correctly your previous post. |

Emily,
I'm mostly a lurker around here, but thought I'd pop out of the shadows to wish you big congratulations and very best wishes. The extra fun of having these little noisy offspring things far outweighs the hassle! Prepare yourself for a wonderful time. Geraint (currently with three young daughters, including one Los Angelena!  )

Best wishes Emily!!!
P.S. Sleep whenever you can, because you will not have the chance to sleep more than few hours at the time for at least 100 sols...You will see for yourself... This was actually advice from my wife... And advice from my son would be:

If you stop cleaning them, they may slow down when the dirt has accumulated enough. Or not...

Thanks everybody! Yes, the doctor seemed pretty sure it's a she, but I think the readers of this board know very well how facts can change when new data are received. I'll have to wait for, umm, a closer flyby for me to be totally confident. Edit: chris: that joke was priceless.

Congratulations Emily !
I wish you all the best. We had twins two years and a half ago so I completely agree with Toma B's advice "Sleep whenever you can". BTW, I should perhaps try to experiment with the dirt accumulation process suggested by Chris. |
