"It's been 2 weeks now, since mars spirit landed and we are not getting true clear color images as promise by jpl long ago." The silence is deafening. In times past, there would have been all kinds of speculation about the types of rocks they are seeing.
We're getting better commentary from FR members and we're looking at images 1/20 the resolution of what the scientists at NASA are seeing.
If you hear Bush is going to give a press conference in the next few days, hold onto your hat!
I too am a bit surprised there have not been more color images. The only thing I can figure is that NASA has it's hands full at the moment. They have the Spirit rover going and now Opportunity is less than a week out from landing. I read last night that they plan to park Spirit for 3 days after Opportunity lands so that the NASA staff is not overwhelmed.
Also, if you are interested, NASA is going to do some kind of special on the science learned so far from Spirit, hosted by the one and only "Bill Nye the science guy". There will be commentary from the Huston Museum of Natural Science and also from Spirit Mission team members. It is set to start in 30 minutes (3PM EST). It can be watched via the net on NASA TV. Real Player is required. The link and more information can be found here:
