Issues with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter - 09.11.09

[auroranebulosa]

LOL Just got to this one. Great stuff! Had it minimized and was just listening to audio, so when I heard the blips and beeps, I actually had to check to see if all was well... Then, it clicked... Yeppers -- a little slow on the uptake this morning. (I'll just blame it on the tiredness...)

Must be a windows on a mac machine. Although enertaining your little reboots got old fast. Ashame that all that money couldn't buy a better than average I T guy.

[kenhes]

Oh come on! Why do you guys use Windows?

[Backlight22]

Haaahahah, you're crazy!

[jazzguru1]

Wait, wait, wait...so the tray that slides out of the computer tower is NOT a cup holder?

[jazzguru1]

Sorry, that was random.

Hilarious vid, guys!

[Kylegeek]

MARS EDITON! LOL! You two are DA bomb!

NASA (in chat room

[spacebaileys]

LMAO! That was hilarious AND showed how annoying it is to be a controller working on MRO. Great job!!

[spacevidcast]

Glad you liked it. Was a TON of fun to produce. I was laughing out load saying things like "oh the community is going to kill me"...

[Anamnesia]

Ummm... Comedy only works the 1st time & just becomes more annoying every subsequent time there-after. I considered unsub-ing from the page...

[huntster1701]

Well that would be quite the over-reaction, don't you think?

[spacevidcast]

For some people it's just not their cup of tea. As we switch between the bland CNN-ish format we used in 2009 to a much more new media approach users will be getting content that is very different than what they had before. Some may decide to unsubscribe. It is completely understandable and while we hope they will stay with us we also understand that it will happen from time to time.

Some people want a CNN for space, which is fine, but that's not really us. We like to have a lot more fun!

[Anamnesia]

I'm guessing that if you told the same joke to your co-workers/friends/family four (4) times, that someone would walk out on you, or tell you to shut up.

Over-reaction? Perhaps?

Annoying to everyone in the room (except the person telling the joke)? Definitely!

[Thiren111]

wow, that was rly fucking annoying!

[hadr0n]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[hadr0n]

Lol. Windows ME. Worst OS ever!

[spacevidcast]

Maybe, but I think this copy of ME is slightly different than the 'Millennium Edition' we had back here on Earth :)

[hadr0n]

I hope so anyway. I would expect it uses some form of embedded UNIX but I thought you only needed to reboot UNIX to change hardware.

[spacevidcast]

Well every OS has flaws, even Unix... Mac OS X is Darwin Unix and I have to reboot that time to time.

Having said that the video was just for fun. The reality of it is this is a hardware issue, not an OS problem. We just thought it funny to bring up the 'Mars Edition' graphic in the middle.

[mrmaciejm]

They shouldn't use Microsoft ha ha ha...

[CiphersSon]

Love it. 0137 :BFFA21C9

[Lizardking357c]

Win 7 rocks

[lostintimeBC]

nicely done did you turn it off and on

is it plugged in, i think you went to an unsafe web site

[ralpher05]

lol

Mars Edition! Very funny

[spacevidcast]

I was wondering how many people would catch that. I added a couple of subtle things in the video to keep people entertained :)

[nilbud]

It's NOT subtle.

[crimsoncoin]

huh your video shows your reboot, and sorry your recieving radiation blinks magnetronic tech, is flashing the satelite, and love all your videos BTW

[Chrisjr2007]

LOL

[Zacho5]

[TrueDragofox]

[spacevidcast]

HA! Thanks, we're trying to have a bit more fun with these dailies. I don't think we can do this *every* day but at least once a week is my goal.

[phoenixar]
