That seems a little strange to have to write them, complaining that they're not telling us anything. As has been pointed out, we (the public) are footing the bill; why are they being so reticent in releasing any information to us?
(What are they hiding, hmmmm?)




I don't think they are hiding anything. True science takes time to get it right, which is far more important than getting it now. Most of the more prominent results from the MER rovers has come many months to a few years after the intial observations were made, so one just has to be patient and wait. I will be happy to wait until they get enough data to release for the public, but I want *good* data and not something quick and dirty (and possibly wrong). Clear skies to you.
