I take it you've seen this.

Josh sent a new password to my email address, which worked!
Many thanks!

But, I think I am accurate, if a bit chovanistic, in saying, "chicks don't dig space."
This ancient hen does.
I thought it was quite colourful. It would grab the reader even more if it started on Mars then flashed back to the launch, journey etc. Whether it gives the reader the sense of being there will be the test whether it works for me. It also has potential for Jeeves & Wooster-type humour with Mark and his butler. Any chance of the butler coming too?

"I mean, the pictures that they are letting us see are poor quality. My daughter's Wal-Mart disposable camera takes better pictures than the bullcrap photos that we have seen so far."
- Would a colour camera have been necessary? Wont it be possible eventually to extrapolate good images from the b/w ones plus other measurements taken by Huygens instruments?

"Are you a liberal?"
- This is as though there is some sort of competition between US and European scientists as opposed to them working in collaboration as is clearly the case. I though this was supposed to be an international site. 'Liberal' or 'conservative' in the US political sense are parochial and incomprehensible to most people outside your backyard. No-one will ever go to Mars while even Mars Society/ forum people fail to think of ourselves as common inhabitants of a whole planet.

I'm someone who often browses but rarely posts. What can I say? In common with the majority of the world's population, whose support is needed if the Mars Society is to achieve its goals, my scientific knowledge is very outline and probably superficial, though I am trying to learn. Mars faded from the news as it went behind the sun. There would probably be new interest in it if (a) a robot probe sent back a movie of the surface, (b) strong[er?] evidence for present or past life was found either at the surface or in another metoeorite like ALH 84001 or © the proposal for a sample return was brought forwards and there was a big row about its safety/ or not in the media.
Meanwhile - there is the landing of Huygens on Titan next Friday to enjoy,

If we can't deal with this by April 2029, we deserve to be hit by it.
