LPSC 2007: Water...
Welcome to this year's Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of pretty pictures and seeing new data from various missions currently doing their stuff above us and around us. It's my first time in Texas, and apparently there be alligators here, although maybe someone was just trying to scare me by saying that...
It worked - in my jet-lagged state this morning, for a second thought there was a croc in my room. Actually, there was an incredible storm wreaking havoc outside,it might even have prompted a tornado warning. Apparently the LPSC is known for it's bad luck with the weather - an LPSC stalwart told me that the conference has been flooded every 5 years. Or was that 5 times in recent years, I forget. Anyway, there was a lot of rain, thunder, lightning. Spectacular.
