[chat Tom] Pathfinder Mission

Tom,

Thank you, I only part I played was in the Launch of the Pathfinder on DEC. 4, 1996.
192.77.26.5

All the credit goes to the Mars Pathfinder and Rover engineers.

The cost of the Pathfinder Mission was about the same price as the movie Water World.

I feel "We" got more bang for the buck, and realized the rewards in only 7 months.

NASA, and the Govt. Purse strings attached, are all for these Low Budget Missions, where the risk to reward is well justified.

Thanks again, and I am very happy to have played a very small part in
the success of the Pathfinder Mission.

Missions will continue to be launched about every 26 months.

Though things could speed up if the Face and Pyramids are
real and not Flukes of Martian Nature. The Mars Global Surveyor
will give us the answers. I hope they are real, as I feel NASA deserves a much larger budget, than just a drop in the Federal Budget Bucket.
