jayOur helicopter traverse on Sunday is chronicled over here as a local story on a CBS affiliate.
And as the first person to visit those particular areas.... I have naming rights. :) After consultation here, I've proposed that the broad orange-red plain be called Korolev Planitia (we use some Mars conventions in the namespaces) in honor of the father of Russian rocketry. JJ thought this was okay, as well. And that the small canyon be named for my father. :)
Here's the orange-red colored broad plain, roughly 5 miles x 5 miles:

Date: 2005-07-29 01:34 pm (UTC)I'm sorry that I didn't understand you last night when you and Vicky called. Your mother said that you had named a canyon after me. She showed me the picture. I had just started my nebuilizer treatment when you called and couldn't hear very well.
I want to thank you, I was very very pleased that I have a piece of this earth named after me. I think it quite an honor. But an even greater honor is having a son who thinks enough of me to name a canyon after me. It means a lot to me. After all how many people can make that statement. Thanks again, I love you.
