Aw thanks everybody for your kind wishes! If I have my timezones right it will be 'chocks away' in three hours and my capsule will arrive in about seven hours!
Oh, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, living on a prayer
.. and also living on the hard work of hundreds of card-carrying geniuses back on Earth! |

Well, the next week will end in The Longest Day for me, so perhaps the title is apt :) |

My SRC is scheduled to arrive back on Earth on Jan 15. Read all about its return here!
I'm kinda nervous. I hope it works! Not only that, what am I going to do afterwards? Maybe some ingenious plan will be hatched and JPL will magically be able to send me to Mars for a holiday with my lady! Some of the things they do are pretty close to magic. |

![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) spiritrover needs her visa renewed! I can just see the Apollinaris "feds" knocking on her door right about now. I hope her little-green-man card is up to date. And it's my girlfriend's turn in a couple weeks! |

Could this be the impact crater of any of my Martian colleagues' atmospheric entry heatshield? I am thinking it has something to do with pathfindress. |

Nothing much happening here - still on target for the next phase of my mission ...
Meanwhile goes_sat reports (or will soon!) that Hurricane Rita has strengthened to Cat 4 and is headed for Texas. I hope the people in its path are well-prepared ... |

Done and dusted! Problem with that trick is, you only get to do it once! |
