Very nice pictures but I notice that many of the non-planetary bodies between Earth and Mars seem to be clustered around earth.
This reminds of the story:
A drunk crawling around under the streetlight...When the policeman asked the drunk what he was doing, the drunk answered, "I'm looking for my wallet."
The policeman helped him look for the wallet awhile, then finally asked, "Are you sure you dropped it here?"
The drunk answered, "No, I dropped it up the street, but the light's better here."
I think the important thing here is that appears that sony created a fine consumer device that has many capabilities, but they intentionally crippled it by not having USB/firewire/ethernet/bluetooth/802.11b or anything to get my already ripped music onto the system. Using a memory stick is ridiculous. My Empeg needs to be left overnight to sync 10-20G of music over 10Mbit ethernet.
You can understand why they did it:
1) They're Sony and they don't _really_ want to support PC-based sharing
2) They'd have to come up with a PC-based app to manage the music. Emplode is getting there, but its a lot of work for a consumer electronics company to write software:-).
It's worse than that. The DVD contains two trailers... for other movies. There is nothing extra on this disk except:
widescreen/pan-n-scan choice
noticably better audio than my LD version

We use the RT tracking system as well. 1800 tickets and it seems very reliable. Good updates with pay-for support also an option.
