[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alshrim Dax: [QB] Here's a quote from one of the press releases given by NASA: "Tonight, Sunday, Dec. 5 from 10:10 to 11:10 p.m., an attempt will be made to listen for signals from the lander that would be sent through its medium gain antenna if the lander is in safe, or standby mode, <u>[i]and its antenna is not pointed correctly</u>[/i]." Now they're also saying that whether or not they actually make contact with the lander it will almost be a moot victory, cuz the microprobes will have insufficient battery life to conduct the tasks they were designed to do... ahhhhh Technology ... we can land people on the moon 30 years ago but we [b]CAN'T[/b] land a freakin' robot on our neighbouring planet using today's advances !!!
