I gotta move to a different time zone for the duration of this.

Patience my friend. Mars loses 40 minutes each day. Every 18 days it's going to slowly slip back 12 hours in relation to time here.

Also, on the 24th of this month the Opportunity lander will plop down on THE OTHER SIDE of Mars. That should be 8-12 hours off from the Spirit site. So you can see that before long we will be having daytime Martian activity, in fact it will probably be going 24 hours as the two Mars sites alternate between day and night. SO it won't matter which time zone you are in.

Oh, thank goodness. After Spirit, I was a zombie for a couple of days!

I was thinking this morning that it is going to get complicated later on in the month.

This morning the Mar Express was added to the mix. Perhaps a calendar of events might be in order.
