It finished about 45 minutes ago... did anyone see it? It was fun... I was sitting on a hilltop, broad vista behind and with a drill 100m away. I cut up a bit, tried to be lively, and a couple of the students said (via chat, they could comment or ask questions) that I was the best speaker thus far :-).

We even ran a live software demo... on a laptop, on camera, on the same remote hilltop. And there were a lot of fun questions from the 500+ college and HS students. And I hit my timing, neither over-or under-time.

A novel twist: translation into Spanish was done in real-time by a remote translator, who listened in one ear while speaking. Who was located in Peru...

Rats. What with getting all the kids off this morning (James had to be driven because he overslept) I completely forgot what day it was. Did anyone capture it?

It will be archived and available for review (including the video) by the end of the day at http://robotics.nasa.gov/courses/fall2003/oct8/entrance.php

I have to say, this sounded pretty damn cool. I'll have to hunt up the archived copy at some point.

the closest I can come is "pleased with the outcome of events"...
