As time goes by, and I'm not telling you otherwise, we're less confident. At this point, though, we still have a lot of things we can try and we're doing that ... Everybody has the belief that we can still get a signal from the spacecraft.
At this point, we're still very confident that we're in orbit in Mars and that we're going to see the spacecraft signal in a few hours.
Both are super-complicated...taking very sophisticated lab experiments and compressing them down smaller to fit into a very tight space...as all rovers tend to be.
Entry, descent and landing are very complex, and a lot of things have to go correctly. That's just part of the risk associated with the mission.
I know they have lots of theories and ideas, but I don't know that they're any closer to nailing things down.
If it lasts for five times that...I wouldn't be all that shocked. But we certainly don't want to go into it thinking that way.
In a way, we feel somewhat complete in the sense that we did go through the things we thought were reasonable. Obviously at this point none of that panned out, but we gave it a good shot.
It is very much premature to say it is any particular cause.
It potentially resulted in the loss of the mission.
It's a safety and welfare issue. It'll make our campus safer.
It's like a battleship changing course. It takes a while, but we're moving in the right direction.
It's not the same mission with the solar arrays. It would have to be a conscious decision on NASA's part to say we want to change the basic parameters of the mission.
MSL is like a chemist on Mars. From a technological point of view, people will be fairly amazed by both the size and the capability of MSL. It will certainly be able to drive circles around MER to a certain extent. Not speed wise. But from how long MSL can go every day...it will be able to do much more.
Obviously, the entry, decent and landing is a very big challenge. I think we're going down the path...retiring a lot of the risk in the technology. But there's still the whole validation process...and still a lot of effort ahead to make that work.
The electorate have a judgment to make, and they will now make it on Maire. My own priority is never to give up.
