Despite the near flawless achievements of nasa's pathfinder mission, two things caught my eye: * There was a potentially significant modem-synchronizing problem between sojourner and pathfinder early on in the mission. * The first images the mars pathfinder transmitted back to earth came at a mere 2,250 bps. Perhaps the scientists at jpl should use a local Internet provider instead of relying America online, eh?
