Welcome

I'd like to welcome those who just found this blog from Meredeth Higbie's email or the new LPI SCORE website. To date, I've been the only person posting on it. My posts deal with a project in planetary exploration at a local high school. Students are using a program I wrote (the Planetary Exploration Program or PEP) to analyze global Martian wind patterns by mapping wind streaks, figuring out the ancient river systems or Mars, etc.

I've been working with the students for a couple weeks and most have installed PEP on their home computers. They have until the end of February to complete their projects and put together a presentation for a Science Fair. To catch up on whats been going on you can read the old blog entries. They will make more sense if you start with the oldest one first.

Blogs are set up so only a specified list of people can post to it. Right now, that list contains only me. I'm happy to add more people to the list (making this a "team blog") so many can post. If you'd like to just post occasionally, feel free to email me your post (Steve@SiliconSpaceships.com) and I can put it on the blog. I'd be happy to post introductions, questions, project descriptions, announcements or anything else you think is valuable.

If you'd like a PEP demo, a free copy of PEP or talk face to face about these issues I'll be at the AGU meeting next week.

This blog is set up so anyone can post comments to any article. To add your views on how this blog should be administered, please add a comment to this post.

Thanks for visiting!
