<p>Scribblenotes part 4:</p><p> </p><p>Q Sally Planetary Report: For Barry (the forgotten man) Info about Tuesday's event?</p><p>A BG: Situation under control. Cmplicated to explain, Problems with sequence counter boundaries in sleep mode.</p><p>During Sol 22, 45,000 high priority events were recorded. First bug patch on the way, 2nd bug found patch in work. By Monday or Tuesday should be all fixed. In meantime, we just download data at end of sol, so it is not stored during sleep.</p><p>Q: Seem so nonchelant. Are you?</p><p>A: Mark: No, we're excited we've shown there is ice on Mars that we can reach out, touch, smell and taste.</p><p>A PS: Excited that we have the ability to reach polygons and troughs. We thought polygons would be larger; might not be able to reach a trough.</p><p>Q David KEstenbaum, NPR: Habitable Zone?</p><p>A PS: Ice doesn't tell us much about that. For habitability, we need ice and ffod; can't say yet.</p><p>Need to know chemicals</p><p>Q: What is food?</p><p>A PS: Organic materials like we use. Protiens, Amino acids, fats, etc.</p><p>Q Marge New Scientist: How does what learned so far relate to tilt models?</p><p>A: Don't expect high concetrations of impurities in ice. If you sublimated earth sea ice in these sizes, nothing visible would be left.</p><p>Q Keith NASAWatch Guided by earth microhabits?</p><p>A PS: Yes, sort of. Goals are another surface sample, then one from soil ice boundary. We've brought the right instruments to answer these questions</p><p>Q Alan, Tucson Citizen, can you dig into ice?</p><p>A: No, at -80 to -90 C this is hard as rock. We have scraper, rasp, so we will get samples.</p><p>Q Jim King, Times of WVA How long has ice resided there?</p><p>A: PS: Ice is yound Geologically 100K to 1 Million years., not stable in summer during current climate regime. Soild is porous (transparaent) to atmosphere, so it is deposited and sublimated each year.</p><p>Q Is there a depth with liquid water?</p><p>A PS: Not under this climate</p><p>Q David B , Wash Post: Any argumanet about whether H2) exists on MArs.</p><p>A PS: Scientists argue about everything. We are following up on Odyssey obs, confirming it did discover water. There's no other way to explain Hydrogen</p><p>Q Perleman Any way to detrmine age of ice?</p><p>No we don't have instruments for that. This is not ancient terrain, it is outflow from carter ~ 10 million years old.</p><p>Q: When did you learn about ice? CElebration?</p><p>A: About 11-12 PDT last night, Mark came in with images even before they were finished downlinking. No real celebration, too much work to do. Move on to next planning.</p><p>End 6/20/08 Scribblenotes.</p><p>I'll go back later and edit the myriad of typos..</p><p> </p><p>Meteor Wayne</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
