Re: Close Encounter with Mars
my guess is, it would be 85% smoke, 15% whatever.

Re: Close Encounter with Mars
Well, we missed another prime chance to make the trip. How many more opportunities will we let go by?

Re: Close Encounter with Mars
I can hardly wait. In my mother's home town there's an obervatory open to the public on Friday's from 8pm to midnight. It's not the closest day, nor the optimal time, and it's on the east coast so there's light polution. But it is still always cool to get to look through a 56 cm telescope.
Now the news is quoteing some sources that says people are afraid of a collision. Now, if anyone has a link to one of these kook sites or news stories, I would like to experience it, 'cause I can always use a laugh.

Well, probably by the time it's this close again if we are still here I think there's a good chance we will have got there.
