IF you like IRC CHAT, we have a room on the
irc.freenode.net servers named appropriately "
#cassini ". We have numerous individuals VERY interested in the deepest level available. Many are from (including the founders) the
#maestro room which was created to support the 'public' release of the rover's planning software by the same name. Several of the
JPL staffers were well-known there and also in the
#cassini room.
The discussions in both rooms has been entertaining and very detail-oriented. Several have been processing/posting hi-rez images including (near)true-color images and mosaics/panoramas from the Mars Rover mission. Also there are a few from the Cassini Imaging team (
CICLOPS) that have said they will interact somewhat as the mission progresses.
I am also the founder of the
#SpaceShipOne room which had a really good chat during the record flight on June21. In spite of only setting it up to the public only 2 days before and spreading the word through numerous points on the net, including
SlashDot, the user-count and overall interest was really good. There is some planned interaction woth some of the people involved with that project as well. We plan for a big run when the record/
X-Prize Flights are attempted. Hope to chat with you there...
