Since that is similar, I'd suspect we'll be surprised with other similar physicalities.

Science for the sake of it. Wow, what a concept

*chuckle*
Well, I draw for the heck of it.
;-)

Perhaps we'll find some interesting stuff that is unexpected.
Something truly weird.

Please add me to your Mars ping list. Thanks

I got an email from Wayne last night! He read our thread!


H. I got one too. I had sent him an E congratulating the team and telling him folks were glad to see him wearing that shirt.
He said he was glad to hear so many people were enthusiastic
about following the progress of the mission. I'm going to write him back and tell him we'll have a live thread going again and the address.

He said the deputy director of JPL ( a former general in the Air Force) didn't complain so he figured it was all right.

Isn't it great, when you can be in contact with folks like that. Just awesome.

"The Martian grains must also be strong enough to withstand the region's strong winds and perpetual scouring by dust devils - tornado shaped vortexes that can tower to heights of kilometres."

Gee, I wonder what would happen to the rover should one of those dust devils decided to pay it a visit?

I was floored when mine came last night! I had sent him the link to the thread, telling him I wanted him to know we were "right there" with them.....he loved the thread!

Did you write that? May I copy it? May I e-mail it? May I claim it as my own? ;o)

[kennedy]

I'd like to claim that I wrote it, but I got it in an e-mail. I don't know who wrote it.

I ran a google search on it and turned up copies posted on several other websites.

That wouldn't stop a professional journalist, would it? Claim it! ;o)

Don't argue with me, I'm looking at my science degree right here on the back of this here cereal box. All I gotta do is fill in ma name.=o)

Gravity of course, I should have known that, I have years worth of scars, due to lacking the grace of a ballerina, to remind me.

"Of course all of this talk about life on other planets is just plain daft. Everyone knows that the chances of silicon atoms coming together in exactly the right patterns to form life are so slight that it is obvious to anyone with a ha'porth of sense that this is the only planet in the universe with any life at all. Some crazy so-and-sos have even suggested that life could be formed from carbon ... I suppose they'll be telling us next that living things could just extract carbon from the atmosphere! What would they use for energy ... bloody sunlight?

"Now I come to the idiotic suggestions that there might be life on the Blue Planet ... named after some ancient god of war, because of it looks a bit like to the colour of blood. Pathetic! It's so hot there that anything living would be boiled alive ... there are oceans of molten ice, for pity's sake! And as if that weren't enough, the atmospheric pressure is a hundred times higher than we could stand ... and a fifth of it is made up of the second most corrosive element in the universe! And as for the tracks which some people claim to have seen through their telescopes ... "roads", they call them, believing that these non-existent inhabitants use them to travel in little self-powered vehicles ... don't these cretins realise that this is just a corruption of "rods", the name for a completely natural straight line rock formation?

"No, I can say without any shadow of a doubt that all these lunatic ideas, like the idea that we might one day travel in space, are utter bilge."

I started to order the clip-ons, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay the $7.50 (iirc) for shipping.

I understand the minimums, but I hate getting ripped off for shipping.

Thanks.
