Now that Phoenix has landed safely, I have some time to develop the real-time simulation script further, obviously for other missions I'm wondering what information you would like to see or other changes you would like to be made (no guarantee though that I will be able to implement everything!). Which missions should go online first? Other forms of the script, e.g. add-on lines for signatures etc?

One change that is already coded is a small sub-routine that avoids the scripts jumping a second (e.g. :30 :31 :33 :34) as happened in the Phoenix version. Another change already implemented is that the milestones now show both the countdowns as well as the time of the event (useful for, e.g., NH's Pluto flyby ... when exactly is 2600 days from now???)

I have released a rush beta simulation for New Horizons (in time for Saturn orbit crossing) at http://www.dmuller.net/newhorizons/ At the same time, I created a Twitter account at http://www.twitter.com/dmuller where I intend to post updates etc.
