Couldn't agree more, there is nothing more fullfilling than to see that glow in the eyes of some people's words... To quote you...wonderful! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

It was such a pleasure to hear his moving and poetic story of the launch and the cloud of "Phoenix Bird" rising ! His eyes were absolutely glowing He'll be a great PI with martian tales we'll long remember  be sure to take the time and listen to a replay of Saturday's press conference |

While watching the launch, the engine plume reminded me more of the Phoenix Rising.
I think Peter Smith's phoenix in the cloud trail was good too, but the plume really caught my attention. Hopefully all these spirit's of the Phoenix flying about will bode well for the rest of the mission. Astro0 |

QUOTE (climber @ Aug 6 2007, 05:18 AM) Any link to this ? If you mean the Phoenix Science Briefing this is the link from Space MultiMedia. I believe it was on Friday. It's a Widows Media Video file, and it is 90 MB! I only have dial-up, but I use True Downloader and download just a little bit each day.  http://labrador.freepgs.com/6m/Phoenix%20%...%20Briefing.wmv Otherwise: You can also check out Space MultiMedia, but I think most formats are for Windows http://tinyurl.com/ooxl4 Jack |
