I propose that NASA send a new probe to be named Venus-Express Express. It's mission is to go to Venus and check on what Venus Express is doing, and see if it is even still there.

come to think of it...I think European universities don't nearly make as many press releases as american ones, even if they have similarly spectacular results. It does seem like a culture thing, which the Europeans probably should change.

which the Europeans probably should change. Maybe a wrong policy maybe a survival's one...Who knows?... Maybe it depends on Europeans citizens to change that...Who knows?... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Maybe a wrong policy maybe a survival's one...Who knows?... Maybe it depends on Europeans citizens to change that...Who knows?... What VEX is missing is the releases, such as on NASA's photojournal, that are simply so the public can follow the mission. Usually, they are processed or jpeged images, so they can't be used scientifically and allow others to upstage the instrument team, but they still allow people to "know what is going on" with the mission. This is not a hard concept that takes years to grasp. -------------------- |

This is not a hard concept that takes years to grasp. Maybe like...30 years?... Europe will take less than that... EDITED: In some years an organization like ESA managed a site like this...This leaves me, as usually, optimistic with the future... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
