Daylight on Mars

[purplecat]

I have no idea why I am so completely mind-blown by the idea that there is daylight on Mars because, well, duh! - maybe it is growing up with all those pictures of the moon-landing against a dark sky. But I am completely mindblown by the idea that there is daylight on Mars.



Image from NASA, obviously.

Interesting. That's very similar to the views a lot of my friends have had. I think I'll but the dvd and watch it.

I adored the books, and still do, although they will no doubt come over as horribly dated. I;d love to know what you think when you read them.

BTW, I don't know if this would be possible, but I have a Sony ereader I almost never use because there is nothing on there I want to read (It came as a cast off from my niece) and I have no idea how to download stuff like that to it. Would you be able to show me if I bring it in Sept? I would love to have teh Martian books there. It would save delving into the bowels of my attic.

Yes of course! No problem.

That would be fabulous. I've tried the online manual and failed miserably, but so has Mr FB, so I feel less bad about that.

I'll have my laptop, so it that's needed it'll be there.

I would love to have the Martian books and try to maybe d/l some fanfic I like.

Thanks.

Yeah you'll need the laptop for the way I do it and the Calibre free software (it's easily downloaded at the time but if you guys want to install it in advance it will save us a bit of time). It must be said I never touched the software Sony provided for using the ereader, even before I bought the thing I'd been warned off attempting to use it.

I can download Calibre, no problem.

Thanks!
