I just cannot believe the NBC television network will continue much longer before canceling that program. Interesting at first, now it's landing gear is mired in a boggy swamp of boredom.

Well, that can't be right.
It has to be the software.
Pull up the on board cameras, please.
It doesn't look like we have a leak.
We'd see some kind of atmospheric variance.

Pull the cameras back up, please.
Did they crash?
The on board cameras are not responding.
We have visuals from the rest of the hardware on the surface, but I'm more worried about the sensor data.
There's no atmospheric temperature reading, and, uh, LOX levels seem to be missing, too.
And this all happened after the software update?
Yes.
How serious is this?

The rover should arrive at base camp in approximately 10 weeks. We'll use its drill to get into the insulation on the cord to the mobile power plant. Zoom in to the reactor. The drill closes the circuit, the MAV loses power. That triggers an automatic reboot of the CPU.
I'm not a tech guy.
Let's say you have a coffee maker that isn't working, and you don't know if it's making coffee or not, no matter how many voice commands you give it.
The coffee is fuel.
Yes, liquid oxygen.
Okay.

Healthier Spirit Gets Back to Work While Opportunity Prepares to Roll
January 29, 2004
NASA's Spirit rover on Mars has resumed taking pictures as engineers continue work on restoring its health. Meanwhile, Spirit's twin, Opportunity, extended its rear wheels backward to driving position last night as part of preparations to roll off its lander, possibly as early as overnight Saturday-to-Sunday.
Spirit shot and transmitted a picture yesterday to show the position of its robotic arm. "The arm is exactly where we expected," said Jennifer Trosper, mission manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

Healthier Spirit Gets Back to Work While Opportunity Prepares to Roll
January 29, 2004
NASA's Spirit rover on Mars has resumed taking pictures as engineers continue work on restoring its health. Meanwhile, Spirit's twin, Opportunity, extended its rear wheels backward to driving position last night as part of preparations to roll off its lander, possibly as early as overnight Saturday-to-Sunday.
Spirit shot and transmitted a picture yesterday to show the position of its robotic arm. "The arm is exactly where we expected," said Jennifer Trosper, mission manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. It is still extended in the same position as when the rover developed communication and computer problems on Jan. 22. A mineral-identifying instrument called a Moessbauer spectrometer, at the tip of the arm, is positioned at a rock nicknamed Adirondack.
Engineers have been carefully nursing Spirit back toward full operations for the past week. They are sending commands today for the rover to begin making new scientific observations again, starting with panoramic camera images of nearby rocks. Today's commands also tell the rover to send data stored by two instruments since they took readings on Adirondack last week -- the Moessbauer spectrometer and the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, which identifies the chemical elements in a target.
"We know we still have some engineering work to do, but we think we understand the problem well enough to do science in parallel with that work," Trosper said. Several attempts to get a full trace of data related to the rover's problem have only partially succeeded. The engineers might choose to reformat the rover's flash memory in the next few days.

I'm not sure how long this has been going on, because I don't think I've written about it for various reasons, but I have been having a lot of thoughts about me on the surface of Mars. But my thoughts have been always about the future, as though it was something I could expect to do in the future.

Mars 3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mars 3 was an unmanned space probe of the Soviet Mars program which spanned the years between 1960 and 1973. Mars 3 was launched May 28, 1971, nine days after its twin spacecraft Mars 2. The probes were identical robotic spacecraft launched by Proton-K rockets with a Blok D upper stage, each consisting of an orbiter and an attached lander. After the Mars 2 lander crashed on the martian surface, Mars 3 lander became the first spacecraft to attain soft landing on Mars on 2 December 1971. It failed shortly after landing.

Remarks to Members of the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists
May 7, 1987
The President. Etta Hulme, members of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, distinguished guests, it's a pleasure to welcome America's editorial cartoonists here to the White House this morning. I know cartoonists are an independent lot who often march to the beat of a different drummer. Of course, sometimes when I see the way some of you draw me, I wonder if it's just a different drummer you're marching to. Maybe it's the "Tune Tones." [Laughter] But it's a tribute to the hard work and careful organizing of Etta and her staff that all of you free spirits have arrived here today at the right time and in the right place. Next week I want Etta to show you where you should arrive on the question of contra aid. [Laughter] Anyway, to Etta and to all of you, let me just say: Thank you for coming.
As you know, this is the second time that we've had editorial cartoonists here during this term. Last May 1 had some of you over for lunch. We're still looking for the missing silverware. [Laughter] And I'd like to know who drew the graffiti on the hall wall. [Laughter] I don't want you to erase it; I just want you to sign it. [Laughter]
from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 08/21/09 4:21 AM
The reason I could only stay for 3 days at a time on the surface of the planet Mars was because of my fuel cells. My landing craft had a capacity of fuel for the fuel cells that limited me effectively to 3 days and so I had to make a Mars 1 landing on 1/21/1976 for 3 day and then a Mars 2 landing for 3 days and then a Mars 3 landing for 3 days and that was all because I transfered fuel from my Project Orion spaceship, or whatever I called it, to my landing spaceship, before the landings.
