 ...Dan, why'd you have to make it look so full?

Well, at least there'd be no question of detecting organics...

QUOTE (climber @ Oct 22 2006, 01:00 PM)  I came from France to be at Planestfest 89 and I didn't know YOU were there  That was something, wasn't it! And that's the reason I was back there for Spirit landing. That make me laught  when I remember they were saying she will last 90 sols. I still can't believe she'll be 1000 next weekI don't recall the attendance numbers for 1989, but guessing at least 10,000 were there at some time over the 3 day event. The "hardcore" were the ones sitting in one of the auditorium meeting rooms waiting for the Triton close-ups to come in. There was a group of around 30. Being among the first to see the canteloupe terrain, the "frozen lake" feature was unforgettable. It was like downloading Cassini or MER raws, but a much more immediate and shared experience. |

UMSF hardcore fan:
You care more about dust-cleaning events on Spirit than the dust accumulating on our car

I know I'm a fan, I had a nightmare a week before Galileo entered orbit around Jupiter and found that Europa's ice crust had disappeared!
Man I woke up and shot straight out of bed. I also have dreams of walking on Mars and finding fossils! I can clearly remember picking up a rock and finding a shell that looked like a octagon.

I had an amazing dream about Mars this morning...
I dreamed I was walking around Husband Hill and suddenly right in front of me, were a group of grey-greenish patches. When I reached out and touched the soil, it was wet. I got very excited and suddenly found a little pool containing a greenish fluid. Then suddenly the dream was spoiled when some Disney-characters with an alien look came up to me, I remember waking up and thinking; damn, such a fine dream ruined by fantasy taking over too much...

QUOTE (Nix @ Jan 22 2007, 01:48 PM) I had an amazing dream about Mars this morning... I know what that is... Long before Spirit reached Everest, I dreamt I was walking down Husband Hill and seing for the first time how Ultreya was like. Damn! It was such a vivid dream! Even the sound of boots on the ground and little pebbles falling down... I even draw then what I had dreamed...

Had a dream last night that they were going to have a press conference about Victoria, and they were going to announce that they were done with the traversal and were going to drive Opportunity into the crater at a selected location. Woke up this morning unsure whether that was a dream or something that actually happened. After a little investigation, have to conclude it was a dream

I'm not sure if you'd want to eat any fish you caught on Titan, though, Thu. I'd bet they would have ethane for blood... of course, that means you might want to stuff your catch into your heating unit!
