two strokes of wild abandon where and from above

The image of this chalice is rendered from a physical wooden object that in the proximity of a candle ignited at DiVizio's table recently. The rim has been burned away as may have two srokes of wild abandon so broken the space between the creative and the receptive imagination: the Divine body preceding as indicated by the attendant date tags in the three files here blogged.

Report Reveals Likely Causes of Mars Spacecraft Loss

WASHINGTON - After studying Mars four times as long as originally planned, NASA's Mars
Global Surveyor orbiter appears to have succumbed to battery failure caused by a complex sequence
of events involving the onboard computer memory and ground commands.

The causes were released today in a preliminary report by an internal review board. The board was
formed to look more in-depth into why NASA's Mars Global Surveyor went silent in November
2006 and recommend any processes or procedures that could increase safety for other spacecraft.

Mars Global Surveyor last communicated with Earth on Nov. 2, 2006. Within 11 hours, depleted
batteries likely left the spacecraft unable to control its orientation.

"The loss of the spacecraft was the result of a series of events linked to a computer error made five
months before the likely battery failure," said board Chairperson Dolly Perkins, deputy director-
technical of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.

On Nov. 2, after the spacecraft was ordered to perform a routine adjustment of its solar panels, the
spacecraft reported a series of alarms, but indicated that it had stabilized. That was its final
transmission. Subsequently, the spacecraft reoriented to an angle that exposed one of two batteries
carried on the spacecraft to direct sunlight. This caused the battery to overheat and ultimately led to
the depletion of both batteries. Incorrect antenna pointing prevented the orbiter from telling
controllers its status, and its programmed safety response did not include making sure the spacecraft
orientation was thermally safe.

The board also concluded that the Mars Global Surveyor team followed existing procedures, but that
procedures were insufficient to catch the errors that occurred. The board is finalizing
recommendations to apply to other missions, such as conducting more thorough reviews of all non-
routine changes to stored data before they are uploaded and to evaluate spacecraft contingency
modes for risks of overheating.

"We are making an end-to-end review of all our missions to be sure that we apply the lessons learned
from Mars Global Surveyor to all our ongoing missions," said Fuk Li, Mars Exploration Program
manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

Mars Global Surveyor, launched in 1996, operated longer at Mars than any other spacecraft in
history, and for more than four times as long as the prime mission originally planned. The spacecraft
returned detailed information that has overhauled understanding about Mars. Major findings include
dramatic evidence that water still flows in short bursts down hillside gullies, and identification of
deposits of water-related minerals leading to selection of a Mars rover landing site.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages Mars Global Surveyor for NASA's
Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, developed and
operates the spacecraft.

Information about the Mars Global Surveyor mission, including the preliminary report from the
process review board and a list of some important discoveries by the mission, is available on the

when the spellbound poem includes me, I get roasted. the spellbound poem streaks sadly, cowering under the spell of that lurking boom of dawn that had the hospital enthralled last week. then who is in charge of dumpsters, including the internment of all particulars of rubbish? because there was noise upon that dawn, along with worries. okay, worries are part of spellbound. Fu Manchu enters the foggy wilds of London. he passes thru walls and disappears as needed. this is not a vacation but you might splutter when the evil inscribes itself in your reading matter. war time propulsion, game reentry into debate, truculent dodging. well indeed, we are tired of the act in which George marries welfare to stretches of august land that covers oil wells. we can blame ourselves, and the satellites too. then a struggle much like a gift. razor sharp wit of... not Sir Denis, that's for sure. no, Fu Manchu is the clever one, Bush is the honed one. two rocks, scraped against the sides of his head, greased with oil from the aforementioned stretches of land, pointless debate in the name of some function that has been enclosed unreasonably: that kind of honed. ridiculousness is cunning.
