      From the craft, or among the Mercurian denizens?

      Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

        Dennis; Are you joking? From the spacecraft. The Mercurian population is here on Earth. They are lawyers.

          I thought lawyers were all from Mars?

    Very interesting. What I'm wondering is if the camera will work at all after the "crash". Not sure what the technology was when they built it. It would be great to be able to aim the crash and get some close up pics from the ground. It would be incredible to know more about that "organic" matter in the craters.
