For those of you who may be interested and to whom this is available, you may be interested to know that "Mars Rocks: One Year Later" (a sequel to "Welcome to Mars," which documents the first year of surface operations for the MERs) is running right now (from 5 to 6 p.m. CDT) on The Discovery Channel.
Another documentary, "Moon for Sale," which claims to be about a "second race to the Moon," is on from 7 to 8 p.m. CDT tonight. And finally, for those who haven't yet seen it but who get Discovery, "Roving Mars" will have a sneak preview tonight from 8 to 9 p.m., CDT. Just thought it worth a mention...  -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Alan stood at the bottom of the Atlas V was one of the most interesting pieces of footage I've ever seen. I always thought "Shuttle Big...Atlas V small...Delta 2 tiny"...Ooooooo No.

Side by side you can't really tell the difference. But the shuttle is by far the most powerful and most massive vehicle. -------------------- |
