So the guys over at the NASA EDGE podcast are hosting a Mission Madness contest. This takes after the basketball March Madness here in the states.
 They told me I'm responsible for making sure Phoenix wins, so I'm asking for help in the voting process. There are some biologically infested missions in the brackets, but it is vastly dominated by unmanned spacecraft. Spirit & Opportunity are on there too, but you can vote for Phoenix and the rovers without any conflict until near the end. I can't divulge any more about the brackets until Monday, but I've already filled out mine and Phoenix has a difficult bracket!It officially starts Monday. The website is here: http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/missionmadness/index.html |

I think there's a lot of stuff like that still here, BrianL. There are limits, though, and the line is drawn starkly here - because if the forum gets taken over by that kind of fluff, then the forum is no longer worth while, and people stop coming. And none of us wants to see that happen, do we?
That said, the real reason might be because Doug is busy. |

QUOTE (mhoward @ Mar 20 2009, 03:31 PM)  That said, the real reason might be because Doug is busy. I go away for 5 minutes, and this thread happens. LOTS of posts deleted. I will just lock this thread if you can't behave. People moaning about what is or isn't allowed on the board, by degrading the entire place with a thread like this. Maybe I just have to turn UMSF off when I'm away from a keyboard for more than a day. Seriously, people. Have some common sense. |
