I DO think the idea of forming teams may be a good idea. I think forming teams to accomplish goals, and assigning the teams/goals to specific probes will most effectively accomplish what needs to be accomplished. I would state that input from ALL should be welcome even if they are not "on the team". The most useful insights often come from those with an outside point of view.
I DON'T think we need to go so far as to LIMIT who talks to the probes, because I think the probes might take offense to being "cut off" from some of their new friends. As long as communications are well thought out and well communicated, and don't include speculations from the WSU, there should not be a problem.

If applications are being accepted, I would like to work with Andrew on the exploration of the planets surface. Looking for anomolies, metal/not metal objects, etc., maybe even Daniel.
