Item 1:
I agree with Skyking that the MN’s ( not to say they name ) have not been on the system. I look at the server log and see the host of the users. I can not tell who everyone is but I can see the no one from MN’s.COM has been here.. I is more then likely that H & P can receive the transmissions that the probes sent to earth. When you send a ship to mars you don’t send it to where mars is now, you send it to where mars will be when the ship gets there. When we send the transmission to mars we send it in "line of sight" or we point it to mars. No ship would be in the path to receive the signal. But they could be here on earth reading the incoming transmissions.
Item2:
If they are for having the probes put the landing beacon up .. I say that the probes should find a side of a mountain and place the beacon on it so when the other ship lands, I hope it will fall over and break..
Item3:
The probes are upset. With this transmission items coming in from H & P we are lucky that the probes did not start doing what they asked.
Item4:
COMMAN GOTO REBOOT is valid . ( that would do a complete reset - A COLD BOOT ) A command saying GOTO WARMBOOT would not do a complete reset .
Item5:
We have not had a incoming from two of the probes.. This has happen before .. although there is no way that I can know for sure, I don’t thank that we should get worried yet.. Tomorrow I will be worried. All new transmission are being added to the packages that are being sent and will be until we get a message back. After that, all new messages will then be sent with the next set is sent, on it’s normal time schedule.
