    Brilliant - good for the armchair mission commander. I like to know when the rovers are up and about and when they're sleeping, and I still get a little nostalgic about pathfinder from time to time. I also like the counter to let you know how many sols have gone by, very useful for jumping to NASA and picking up the latest images. I'm sure professionals find it useful to, but who cares! I'M IN CHARGE. Two ideas, It might be fun to see where the satellites are as well, but I suppose that would be a little complicated these days and you'd have to update the screen at a faster rate. Also, a high-res MDIM and high-res MOLA would be a vast improvement. THe low-res versions are pretty nasty, particularly the MDIM. Good work!
