So has a landing site been chosen yet, anyone know? and what is the specific (or general) location... and don't just say "up north", latitude and longitude would be better.

 How has the response been so far? A while to go yet I suppose though....... -------------------- "There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary code, and those who don't."

Yep, a while yet, and you'd have to ask Rui how many entries there have been so far. We were kinda hoping there'd be some entrants from within the UMSF ranks (actually, there might have been, for all I know...  ) Here's my latest "possible view..."

Great image Stu, that definitely has a realistic appearance to it.
Alas even at this site there are still boulders to reckon with. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Thanks Yeah, the boulders... just spent half an hour trying to add those realistically and got absolutely nowhere, so in MY world Phoenix lands in a remarkably boulder-free area!
