With the brushing of this rock... YEah yeah - ok - they're TOTALLY different - but I'm not a geologist - makes an interesting comparison however. I assume this will be the weekend stop-over. Doug

Wetting the surface greatly improves the visual resolution. They can send me along with MSL to lick rocks! Except, at 100 kg I'm probably a little heavier than an oil-sprayer. -------------------- Jonathan Ward Manning the LCC at http://www.apollolaunchcontrol.com
