It is, after all, less than one hundred days away now, and I'm sure Mars is getting very big in the window for ol' Curiosity. I hope they'll get a webcast going. I'll be frantically clicking on 'refresh' on here come what may!... [MOD NOTE: Topic moved to Chit Chat for obvious reasons.]

I'm then taking the whole week off work to follow and learn how to handle MSL data James -------------------- Twitter Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here
