An attention-grabbing discussion is value comment.
I

believe that it is best to write more on this topic, it might not be
a taboo topic but typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics.
To the next. Cheers

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared

to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get
annoyed while people consider worries that they just do not
know

about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out
the whole thing without having side

effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thanks

Hey are using Wordpress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started
and create my own. Do you need any coding knowledge to make your own blog?

Any help would be really appreciated!

…and somehow it managed to land on the last Martian cat.

But seriously – Godspeed, Curiosity.

Shafe: Curiosity’s nominal mission is 2 years (compare to nominal 90 days for the MERs). I expect Curiosity to still be going long beyond that. I think I heard that the power supply is good for at least 14 years. However half-life of plutonium-238 is 88 years, so I think it must be that other usage wear effects of the power supply are the limiting factors there.

Spirit and Opportunity’s photovoltaic systems allowed them to remain useful far beyond their projected life spans. If I remember correctly, the nuclear decay battery on Curiosity has a stated life of something like 2 years. Does that put a hard limit on Curiosity’s useful life, or is it sort of like the stated life on an LED bulb: beyond two years power output drops below X% of maximum, but the rover will continue service in diminished capacity for years to come?

Considering how badly NASA needed a succes with a Mars-mission it was even more disconcerting when you looked at the landing seequence…and they somehow managed to pull it off!?

Well done I say!

What wierd characters?!

I’m not the only one getting those weird characters in the post, am I?

Jeez. I’ll figure this out. Really. I somehow managed to eliminate them from the old posts while adding them to the new ones!

Go figure.

I’m working on it
