Early morning release:
http://msl-raw-images.appspot.com/lists.html PS. Curiosity really needs a "nickname", like Oppy. How about "MC"? Any suggestions? [Edit] PPS. As you've noticed I'm not much of a graphical designer:) I could use some help with creating a nice banner/header for my listing, various styling tips and maybe a nice, non-intrusive background. Anybody here up for the challenge of helping me a step forward on that subject? |

PS. Curiosity really needs a "nickname", like Oppy. How about "MC"? Any suggestions? Yes good idea to nickname the rover. I'm using "MSL" as some others still do at JPL... and I'm now happy with it. The more simple nickname following traditions would be the use of "CR", standing for "Curiosity Rover", using the rule set for Viking ("VL" standing for "Viking Lander")... ... And if you want a nickname like "Oppy", then call it "Curry" : I'm sure this will help scientists find their much-wanted "spicy" rocks at Gale |

Interesting about the logo from the launch vehicle. I just received in today's mail a lapel pin from JPL, with that same logo and Mars Science Laboratory. It'll always be MSL to me.
Similar situation with the International Space Station modules. My nephew worked on ISS for several years. I asked him something once about the Harmony node, and he had to pause for a few moments and said, "Oh yes, Node 2." Nobody in Houston refers to the modules by the popularized public names. -------------------- Jonathan Ward
