    Speaking of "gas", the price would be lower when we got back. :D

    I really like my small Suzuki Swift! ;)

    Hey, I saw a very interesting site on Mars, there is a window where you can interact with your mouse. Also, I was pleased to read this:

    "...in no less than ten years, and certainly no more than 20, ...we're going to see astronauts on the Red Planet. There is no doubt in my mind." - Dan Goldin, former NASA Administrator,1999

    But...we ARE already THERE! And, it's only year 2004! :D

    When are we heading back to earth. The computer is programed to launch and make the return trip whenever you are ready. We need to get back I need a cheese burger. :D

    And I think we already got experience enough to apply for the job! :)


    I understand! :D But I am sorry to announce that Infinity's lift off from Mars will be slightly delayed ; the captain has to recover from a sudden illness. Hopefully we might be able to take off soon..or before Monday. :oops:

    Hey! Thanks to you all! I had kind of a big fever and a headache. I thought my head would explode :( I rested and I feel much better now. :) Hey Cochise, long time no see! Hope Paint is doing well and that you have it shoed regularly. ;)

    I would like to announce to the staff and interested members of the wider Astronautical Community that our own Beetlejuice, after many nights working late hours designing and testing and modifying, has produced a state-of-the-art motivational tool for the Three Stooges. :D

    It looks like a very technical design. It ought to be a great help to the stooges. ;)

    And it can be a baby toy too to amuse any Martians that might stumble by :D Hey Bigc, the rocket is ready. As our Science Officer, I want you to run through the final checklists before we lift off! :)

    The computers are running diagnostics as we speak, so far there was only one setting that had to be adjusted and it is not mission critical. It was just that the temperature of the coffee pot was not quite hot enough. We should have the results of the deep diagnostic scan by 0600. Barring any problems the Inifinity should give us a comfortable ride home. The fuel level has a 45% safety margin after take off. We just have to make sure that all of our tools used on the surface are packed and lashed down properly. I ran a 5% engine burn and they responded perfectly. Now all we have to do is wait on the diagnostic scan and having all the crew members to stow all of their gear and the samples that were colleced during our exploration of the martian planet. When the scan is complete I will report to you captain on the space worthiness of the ship and the degree of expected success of the flight home to earth.

    :D and that would not be too good for our friend Beetlejuice, right?

    Ok Science Officer, I'll wait for your proper advice. :)

    Well captain the scan has completed and there were no problems found so I have loaded the return launch program and am just waiting the time frame to program in. We are able to return home at your orders.

    Very Good! :) I am glad we were able to get such a dedicated Science Officer. You have never let us down. Here we go! The good old rocket never had much in the way of majesty but has proven to have reliability!!! :D

    I will slowly be preparing images do document our journey back. It will have to be somewhat slowly since I am busy packing things for the coming move and have to pace myself accordingly :)

    Since we made it to mars with no upsets we can afford to take our time heading back. Will be looking forward to seeing your images. :)

    Thanks! I have lots of ideas but it will take some time to accomplish the plans I have in mind! :)
