Dr. D
I heartily applaud your decision to protect the outbound transmission control. Obviously the decision to make the Mars Dawn project open to the public, while completely admirable from a purely scientific point of view, places it in a somewhat compromising position, as it is obvious that there are individuals and institutions which would seek to undermine the team's work.
If you haven't yet read my posted greeting to the team I invite you to do so, as it reveals my background and my intentions with regard to the project.
If at that time, or at some point in the future, you deem my efforts worthy of the honor, I would gladly accept notification of the proper password to acess messaging directly to the probes.
Thanks,
Maestro
