The Martian Reconnaissance Orbiter rolled out of its Colorado
manufacturing site today for transport to Florida
for an August 10th launch. It has the most powerful set of sensors
and camera ever.

The pre-Copernican average 24 hour day was derived from the appearance

I'm located County Louth on the east coast of Ireland, about 15-20

I did try posting this on the sci.archaeology newsgroup but didn't get any
