Comments

Any idea when they'll be replaying it online? (Gots a meeting @ 2:00...)

BTW, any geologists out there care to inform the rest of us just what that striated object is in the upper right of the "Charlie Flats" color pic? (for those that haven't seen it, go to the JPL rover page and look at the press release images). I'm not going to say the first semi-irrational thought that popped to mind when I saw that, but I look forward to the comments.

Forgot to mention, it's on the Opportunity press release images, for the 26th. Here's the URL (which hopefully doesn't get filtered)...

I don't know, and a quick look through the nasa.gov site didn't suggest anything.

You might check here some time later on tomorrow: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html
There seems to be a good bit of recent video archived there. If this announcement really is as significant as it sounds, they ought to eventually have it there.

The mission briefings are available at C-SPAN:

Tuesday's briefing will probably be available there.

If I find one (or someone drops a link here...hint, hint), I'll be sure to post it to the front page.
