Heh! Someone asks about the interest and the photoshoped images - to which some of the team in the audience start patting one of the guys on the back, so you can tell there's been some internal shenanigans there! 
I think that was 'mohawk guy'. pretty sure I spotted him sitting there when they panned the camera around at one point.
he was definitely there, I saw him too (was putting screen captures into paint at the time so I missed any back patting)

When Ben the software man was talking, I thought I heard him refer to "the dust removal tool".... Did I hear correct? (we can listen again in recording) I would be interested to know any more about this, if anyone here has more information. Thanks.

The “Yellowknife” question was answered as to a tip of a hat to the geology tradition when searching for the oldest rocks on Earth begins with going outwards from Yellowknife and they wish to continue the tradition on Mars…

The 'mohawk guy' has been all over the news -- now lets not forget the original Mohawk Man;

And the reason there is a brush there and not a Surface Removal Tool like the MER RAT on steroids is that Al Stern de-scoped the SRT to save less then .1% of MSLs overall budget (my WAG only, but we didn't save much).

Just a heads up, tonight at 9:00pm ET and then again at 12:00am ET (check your local listings) NatGeo channel is airing: "Mega Mars Rover". If you haven't seen it, its a nice one hour documentary with some interesting background on Curiosity's development.

Thanks for the heads-up -- it was a great show.
I have two criticisms:
1. It should've been longer.
2. It was followed immediately by "Chasing UFOs"

I'm loving these MSSS-provided cameras, color images right out of the box!
