It looks like the Mars Rover Briefing is scheduled for 11am MT today on NASA. With my schedule, 11 was too early to get up so I taped it and am watching the tape as I enter this. Neat stuff, especially the 360 degree panorama Spirit shot from the top of Husband Hill.
One comment that caught my attention, though, was that the computers onboard the rovers are similar to home computers from about 15 years ago. I knew the shuttle's computers use old technology but was surprised to hear the rovers suffer from the same problem.
I haven't seen anything on the list for about it for a while... I put it in News last week and included a reminder in this morning's issue so hopefully most everyone got a heads up.
Ok, back to the briefing. Patrick
