Kudos and some grumbling over reports to date..

at least the kibitzers are literate, as the Standard Model predictions, recaps of the inertial-hammer & screw are dissected (in the pop-up blogs for each Topic.)

Kibitzers here seem disdainful of the performance (after 10 Years! in stasis..) and are already imputing some cover-ups within esa's offered interpretations of the first data releases; seems a bit pissy to me. After this long a wait and all those n! risks, I deem this attitude churlish; after all, the assumptions in overall design are today 13+ years out of date. Pity about the failures in harpoons, but such was well within the long-Odds, byotches.

Tonight on PBS, a reprise: To Catch a Comet. So far, some good pics, comments. Nice lab demo of sublimation (there was some surprise that a coma was forming this early on G.) They had to do a record-long burn to accelerate closure. Etc. Then the nascent coma stopped! Suspense..
One thing is unarguable: these Euro guys know how to compute celestial mechanics to a fare-thee-well; had a couple small things occurred with Curiosity's check-list ... well, you know.

Furlongs per fortnight for speed and mousefarts for force might work also. But, I have my doubts. :) Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
