Where have the rover threads gone?

[Leovinus]

I'm trying to find them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[Leovinus]

I created two empty ones while we try to find out what happened to the old ones. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="yellow">"... try to find out what happened to the old ones. "</font><br /><br />Have you checked to see if there's a problem with the DSN? Or possibly Odyssey. It must be something common between the two to have lost telemetry on both simultaneously. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

I unstickied them since we have three other, more active, missions going on at the moment - Deep Imact, Cassini and STS-114. They shouldn't have disappeared totally, since I posted to the tail of both of them.

Here are the original threads: Oppy , Spirit .

*sings all folk-song-esuqe*<br /><br />Where have all the rovers gone...<br /><br />Sorry don't know why but since I saw this thread title, that's going to be in my head all day

 

[nacnud]

They were here a minute ago. *confuzled* <br /><br />Edit: Until the mods get an old sticked thread going I'll add past missions to this one.<br /><br /><b>MER missions</b><br /><br />Opportunity (The dune buggy)<br />Spirit (The mountaineer)<br /><br />Any more old threads that people would like links to add to the bottom of this thread and I'll edit this post again.

Did it taste like chicken ?<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

><i>could we please keep the rover threads stickied ?</i><p>As a compromise, I stickied <i>this</i> thread, so you have a link to the original threads. 1 sticky thread instead of two.</p>

 

[Leovinus]

Using that logic, one should have a *single* thread that has links to all current missions (Voyager included) and unstick everything so that people can tell when a thread has been updated and can locate it if it falls off page 1. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[vogon13]

Wow!<br /><br />So many active missions all at once are log jamming SDC.<br /><br />Way cool!<br /><br />MESSENGER earth flyby coming up in a few weeks too.<br /><br />More missions, more missions!<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

 

[najab]

That actually isn't a bad idea.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Yeah, that's a good idea.

<font color="yellow">najab - As a compromise, I stickied this thread, so you have a link to the original threads. 1 sticky thread instead of two. </font><br /><br />On an old forum I used to run, I'd have a thread with links to past stickies. That way, there'd always be a way to track down that elusive thread that got lost in the flotsam. Of course, it was only for important threads that could be used for referrences. Maybe a "Past Missions" thread with links to the "official" dead-stickies wouldn't be too much of a chore?<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

Sounds like a damn good idea to me ALP. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong>  </p> </div>

>Totally agree with this. Large difference in importance. <br /><br />Let's see, we have two rovers continuing to explore an alien world... Nah, not very important. <br /><br />P.S. No offense meant; it's just sad to me to see how much interest in the rovers seems to declined. There's still a lot going on on Mars.

ok, all you MER-haters ....<br />When we find water on Mars, you know what ? <b> YOU ain't drinking any ... </b> <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Seriously, though, it was too early to unsticky those fine pieces of machinery. <br />They 're still alive you know. <br />Not to mention it could bring bad luck, and in this case we all know WHO would have to take the blame ... <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br />{knocks on wood} <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>I feel better than James Brown.</em> </div>
