All of us here are truly excited for the new year and what it will bring. It all kicks off this weekend with our first team meet of 2009. I’m interested in seeing what new progress the rover locomotion and lander teams have made, as well as getting some feedback from the others on my research. In particular, I’d like to hear the CDH (Command and Data Handling System) team’s reaction to a computer that only draws 1 W—and, to my knowledge, may be the first to run off of Linux in space, certainly the first on the lunar surface. Most of all, I look forward to getting some input and help from the others on the structure and materials side. I’ll tell how it went next week. In the meantime, “Carpe Astra”—remember?
