Oct. 8th, 2004 11:16 amJPL trip, yesterday... alarm didn't go off, so I was woken by the limo driver at 5:30am. I threw on my clothes and fled... leaving my cellphone, but I didn't really need it. The project reviews were fine, I poked holes in two ill-thought-out efforts. And I was invited to put in a proposal to work with one of the participants on drilling automation and controls.
Today... telecon with Pascal. Budgetary things, nagging about my paper, but updated Ar-testing that shows that Haughton Crater is actually almost twice as old as we'd thought before. And we might put a telescope there to search over the winter for extrasolar planets, and be useful in a total solar eclipse there in early August 2006. And the company that makes IMAX films ("Everest", etc) is coming up next summer....
