In two weeks I'm going to be delivering an hour-long talk at Amherst College for the class reunions (it's my 10th reunion). Mostly I plan to talk about what's cool in space right now, how you can get images from the Web and what kind of fun you can have with them, etc (with lots of cool examples from this forum). But as I was beginning to think about what I was going to say, I asked myself how all of the different Reunion classes -- the classes of 1996, 1991, 1986, etc... -- experienced space exploration differently, in terms of what missions were active and returning data when they were in college. So I made up a set of slides showing where we had active missions returning data for each of those 5-year periods. What do you think of these? Any suggestions for improvements / changes / pointing out of errors would be greatly appreciated.





(Also, if anyone wants to play with the Photoshop file I used for the background, I'll be happy to share it.)

All good suggestions, thank you Rakhir; you remind me I need to add the New Horizons Jupiter flyby next year too.

Emily:

SOHO and other Solar observatories; and if you include Hubble, do you include Skylab, Hipparcos, Spitzer, Compton etc?

And did I see Beagle 2?
