I hope somebody recieves your message-in-a-bottle plaque someday. I read this with more than a little melancholy. Coupled with the news that JPL is standing down its Galileo mission, this is a sad day of saying goodbye to old friends. It won't be much longer until we have to say goodbye to the Voyagers as well. And Pathfinder had such a short, if magnificent life. George A ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
