Imaging restrictions on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
Behind the Black ^ | April 17, 2018 | Robert Zimmerman

Posted on 04/17/2018 12:35:56 PM PDT by Voption

"In releasing a new set of four captioned images today from the high resolution camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), the captions from each also included this paragraph: 'HiRISE has not been allowed to acquire off-nadir [straight down] targeted observations for a couple of months due to MRO spacecraft issues, so many high-priority science objectives are on hold.' The image restrictions are probably related to either or both the battery and reaction wheel issues noted in recent status reports.

They just don't want to release high resolution photographs of The Face, and The Pyramid on the Cydonia Plains.

You sure are a fan of Zimmerman.

Also it seems you are excerpting stuff to send traffic his way.

Curious, that.

Wow.
You again?

Let me try this....

“Here’s a Blog-entry from a science-blogger, posted in the “Blogger and Personal” section here at FR, concerning the MRO. Rather than paste the entire article (and included pictures) I’ll highlight the relevant tidbit, and folks can decide if they want to explore further, or not.”

Yeah, let's stop and look at that right there.

In what way does that differ from harvesting Free Republic's traffic?

Sure looks to me like you are on a mission to do just that.

Do you have an internal app you use to spot potential click bait? I notice that you hit a LOT of these within minutes of the original post.

I wish I did and could populate it with responses to specific bad behavior patterns.

Save me at least an hour per day, I bet.

Releveant tidbit: “The MRO has problems with it’s batteries & reaction-wheel, they can only take pictures pointing down right now. Planned science is restricted. Here are some of the more interesting picture-releases.”

So— which Blog do you want me to point to, here at the Blogger & Personal section? If I point to the guy who wrote it, it makes you unhappy.

Dude... “harvesting traffic?”
Enlighten us all on how that exactly works?

Whatever actual source the blog ripped off the material from might be a good start.

This is how one can tell the guy never even reads or watches any of the text or audio-visuals to which I link.

Zimmerman doesn’t have any advertising, I’m not quite sure how he benefits from “click-bait?”

Go ahead and find the article on your own.
Then send an email to the administrator here at FR, and suggest they get rid of the “Blogger & Personal” section, because of all the DMCA violations that go on, every day.

Then why do you consistently direct traffic there?

Why should I?

It's fun to unmask you pimpy wankers.

I've heard so many funny reasons why pimps need to direct traffic to their sites.

It's better than cable TV, I'll tell you what.

It is amazing how humblegunner shows up first after the post. What a wasted life he lives. Get out and learn tennis, something healthy.

I appreciate Voption’s posts, saves lots of my time.
Humblegunner, we all will die soon, cherish your remaining time, do something worthwhile.

BTW, I’m a gun nut, do you shoot, or reload; involved with the shooting sports?

I guess you must know a lot about it to make such a pronouncement.

do you shoot, or reload; involved with the shooting sports?

After insulting me, you expect me to give you personal information?

Yeah.

No insult to you, real advice, a touch of concern, policing a board seems a small task for life, too much and it does waste life. You’ve heard the question, I assume, “What do you want written on your tombstone?”

I actually like to talk about guns... thought maybe we could have a short conversation, gain another view of you.

The name “humblegunner” does create an interesting image.
