Exactly, which is another reason that I wonder at all the people whining for access to this data. Imagine hundreds of people requesting 5 Mb files from all over the country. I see no reason that NASA or anyone else has to spoonfeed those people who want to have some nice pictures to show their friends. I want some too, but I'm not going to berate the investigators for not giving me their data. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Arnold Gill | - If I hadn't wanted it heard, | | Queen's University at Kingston | I wouldn't have said it. | | InterNet: gilla@qucdn.queensu.ca | - Astrophysician in training | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: 1 Dec 90 22:10:41 GMT From: prism!mailer.cc.fsu.edu!sun13!geomag!cain@gatech.edu (Joe Cain) Subject: General Background Information There is a new book just out called "The New Solar System" third edition, Edited by Beatty and Andrews and jointly published by Cambridge Univ. Press and by Sky and Telescope which includes the type of background information that some networkers may want to understand more about the current space program as well as a summary of planetary results with slick color pics. Especially neat is chapter 1 by Noel Hinners on "The Golden Age of Solar-System Exploration." The literary introduction by Carl Sagen is not to be missed.
