Hi all,

it's been only a few minutes ago that the Mars pathfinder sent an all clear.
(no bugs seen so far;)

Another step closer to Full Thrust. (Are we really sure we want this? War,
death,...;)

Oh well, life would be pretty boring I guess.

Just an additional note. The Mars Pathfinder has been officially renamed. It
is now fittingly named the Carl Sagan Memorial Station. As far as I know, the
Mars Rover is still called Sojourner.

Yes, we were going to go down the road to the Siding Springs Tracking station
at Tidbinbilla, so we could see the raw piccies before processing and sending
to Pasadena. After all, not many people would know that this was the tracking
station that was monitoring the mission, right? Wrong.
