Thanks 3488

Meric · Oct 4, 2008

This may be the wrong forum, I am not sure and appologize if it is.  But I would just like to say thanks to 3488 (Andrew) for all of the great information and pictures he constantly updates on these forums.  They are quite fascinating, and a pleasure to read.  I wouldn't know where to find half the stuff he does

Posted by Meric</DIV>Hi MericFirstly you can call me Andrew. I'm blown away by this. A whole thread dedicated to me & the work I do here!!!!!!You are more than welcome freind. I absolutely LIVE for this sort of thing.a_lost_packet, Wayne, silylene, doublehelix, etc jumped on my case when I felt like quitting due to some racist new comer idiot on these boards (I have a Chinese Wife, & this idiot poked fun at the Chinese when Shenzhou 7 was in orbit) & I had a rather bad episode with my health condition which made me evaluate my own importance here or anywhere else for that matter. a_lost_packet, Wayne, silylene & doublehelix thought I was just being stupid thinking like that & despite my difficulties I contribute in a big way to humanity's struggle to understand space & Earth's place within space & that I know all too well, how important is is for people like us here, to not allow humanity to lose sight of that or we will go the way of the Dinosaurs. How very true that is.  I am here for the duration & at the moment my concentration is on the Mars Phoenix Lander (which I personally helped save from cancellation) & the upcoming MESSENGER Mercury encounter, now less than a day & a half away. We will see for the first time EVER  huge swathe (well two huge swathes) on Mercury, never ever seen before by humans & this is so thrilling, even if it is craters & lava plains, these are still new features that will enable us to help understand why Mercury is as it is & also will help in understanding the Earth in many respects (the two planets are not as different as they may seem, there are huge & fundemental similarities) & that I feel that I can contribute in some small way to get that information out & to get others interested.Planetary Exploration for me is a real passion, whilst not participating in a proffessional capacity, I do participate by sharing ideas, images & I do have contacts in NASA & am known to two of the former mission managers of the Jupiter Galileo Orbiter, with whom I had exchanged a great many ideas. I have had conversations with Dr Ralph McNutt @ the APL / JHU concerning MESSENGER back in January & since, will be again after the upcoming encounter. Also I have had other success since then & still some outstanding, such as MRO HiRISE obs of the glacial type features in the Tharsis area on Mars,  Phoenix Landing site during the Winter & Spring (a recent success as been announced that's going to be done) & observations of the outer & smaller Mars moon Deimos with same.Anyway anough about me, welcome to SDC.I'm not sure that a thread about me should be on SS&A so I'll ask dh to move it, but I.m blown away, I really am. You have made my day. <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/11/2/cbd0285d-9e34-4954-82f8-7b29a98a228b.Medium.gif" alt="" />  Andrew Brown.  <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Posted by Meric</DIV>Actually, I think it's a VERY appropriate place. I've been a member of SDC for 4 years now, and Andrew has consisently provided material to the Fora here that are of quality of the highest order. I'd go as far to say that he is one of the "anchors" of the scientific contribution that makes this site one of the very best. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "2012.. Year of the Dragon!!

Thanks from me too.  Generally I have the same fascination AND knowledge of Space as a 12 year old.  You've (and some others) been a wonderful source (particularly with Mars) of information for those times when I've wanted to dig a little deeper and learn.  Thanks to everyone this should include.

Yea Andrew  you definitely rock!   Constantly tolerant of people like me who ask dumb questions to which he politely obliges with answers and cool information.   And ofcourse his epic devotion is not wanting; getting the information on space and scientific events here to the masses!  His enthusiasm for space exploration and all its glory keeps me constantly enthralled, giving me something to gauge myself on.  I'm lagging in my devotion compared to him, but I'll get their some day haha!Thanks again Andrew, and ofcourse all the others that make this board a kicking place to get the lo down! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> I don't think I'm alone when I say, "I hope more planets fall under the ruthless domination of Earth!"SDC Boards: Power by PLuck - Ph**king Luck </div>

I definately have to add my name to this list, Mucho Appreciado (dumb Arizona Cowboy speak<img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />). At the Senior Center we host functions where the local Senior population gets to meet those running for office as well as those already in office. I never pass up a chance to get a word in for the Space Program at these get togethers. My association with you on these forums has allowed me to speak much more knowledgeably than I would have otherwise. I think you should consider that as just another little ripple in the pond of life. Your knowledge, that you freely pass on to your to your friends on these pages, allow us to further the Space Program in many ways that you are not even aware of. I'm glad that A_L_P, MW, Silyene, DoubleHelix, etc. were able to talk you out of leaving us. Because if you left us, the loss of the little ripples would be felt throughout the Solar System, if not farther.   <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.

Andrew single-handedly got me hooked on this forum (uplink at the time) with his pictorials.. I litteraly got stuck to my monitor for hours at a time, soaking in the moon pictures he gathered

Thanks Andrew. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
