How did you get your name on it?

Heh, I was watching somthing on PBS last night about their testing the rover's AI by telling it to drive off a cliff and seeing if it'll do it. No doubt even though it passed the test on earth, it's going to make a run for the first damn cliff it sees.

NASA TV is RealMedia which means it can take a hike.

How is your name on it?

Go to Yahoo's article and click on the image of the rover. It will bring up a video of it. Pretty cool.

Some awesome pictures coming down from the first pass. If you have the NASA channel tune in in 30 minutes as they should show the pictures again in the next conference 12:30AM PST.

Awesome.

The only potential issue facing the team was an apparent short fall in electrical power output from the rover's solar panels. A controller reported the panels were generating 83 percent of the expected power.

Oh, bummer.

How is your name on it?

a while ago there was a thing on NASA's webpage where you could enter your name. Basically they kept a running list of all the names people entered, then I think they stored them on some form of media, I imagine a dvd disc of some kind. Anyways they attached that with the spacecraft, so in essence all those names were sent to mars.

That way if the craft explodes and leaves shrapnel all over the planet, the martians will hunt down everyone on that dvd instead of the folks at NASA.

Anyone know if that 83% was based on panel maximum or panel maximum - setting sun (sol).

Repost.

Is it true they found the remnant remains of a license plate??
