August 6, 201214 yr comment_529103 saw federer eat it at the olympics today. so sad and disappointed. still have a bad taste in my mouth from it. wasn't even a close match... IIRC it was 1-6 2-6 4-6. Murray obliterated him. Murray lost to Federer last month on the Wimbledon final. Well... it's seventy some years since the Brits won a major event in their own courts. I'm satisfied, because I like underdogs. Report
August 6, 201214 yr comment_529104 Seriously. That's some outstanding shit. And that is one dusty lens. I didn't know that you worked on it too.. Report
August 6, 201214 yr comment_529180 I don't remember working on it. For those of you watched the precursor video, you know how they said they couldn't actually land on the rocket jets, because they would raise too large a dust cloud, and too much of it might settle back on the rover? I'm thinking that's what happened to the lens. I'm thinking, "I sure hope they came up with some sort of way to clean the lens, because there is still going to be a lot of dust backlash." Report
August 7, 201214 yr comment_529195 I know that they had lenscaps on for the landing and they shot the first images threw them.. But you are right what about later when they are driving around (and just the wind storms). I hope that they duct taped a handful of these on there.. then use the arm to spritz now and then. Report
August 7, 201214 yr comment_529304 Wind without atmosphere? Well, atmospheric pressure on Mars is still about 0.087 psi on average surface level, so enough for dust storms. That's about 1/2% of Earth's though. So close enough to vacuum to get freeze dried. Report

September 13, 201213 yr comment_535000 wait! is this a new pbs ring cycle? I have been rewatching my pbs James Levine version for years... Report
September 13, 201213 yr comment_535005 Yes. I have no details because I just stumbled on it, but it is not the Levine version. That is where I fell in love with the Ring. Check local PBS Mikey. Report
