I liked Dave too. The game's not going to be the same without him. I wish him the best!

I will try to get a "Dave" update from my Bro this week. I haven't talked to my brother about survivor since the show began but according to my mom he and a group of people would go to a bar each show night with Dave to watch the show (he and my bro both work at JPL).

As I think I said somewhere up above, they are both currently working on the same project.

JKM, does your daughter know that they are launching 2 more Mars Rovers this summer (May & June)? I will be at the second launch in June and am excited!! The rovers are being launched in Saturn rockets so the Shuttle problems have not affected the schedule.

Thanks, Ryn

Both my daughter's names are going into space with the rovers --- they had a site to get your name listed on a cd as part of the rover -- You got these cool certificates when you signed up. We gave them to them framed for Christmas. (just in case she changes her mind between now and 2028 -- at least a part of her will have went to Mars!!)

Just had to chime in here.

Saw Dave on the Early Show. He seemed to have everything in perspective. Not bitter at all. I liked that.

Yeah, he's a little arrogant, but he's a 24 year old Rocket Scientist. I guess I'd be a little arrogant, too, if I was a 24 year old Rocket Scientist.

Good luck to him...

Dave was also on the David Letterman show last night. He did okay with his part of the show. Actually, I think David Letterman was a little impressed with him ...... but, as usual, was making a farce of the show Survivor. But.....that's Letterman.

I sent my bro an e-mail this am, will let ya know when I hear back.

on a side note, he (my bro - not Dave!) sent me a link to see pictures on the current status of the Rovers as they are prepared for launch:

http://mediaarchive.ksc.nasa.gov/index.cfm

go there and choose "Mars Exploration Rovers" from the third drop-down list and you will get a huge lists of pictures with text detailing each showing the progress.

Ok, FINALLY my brother replied - lol - here is most of what he said about Dave (and he chimes in on how he thinks things will go):

"As you have probably noticed in Dave's interviews he is very polite and
never bags on the other player. He did mention that Jenna and Heidi were very thin.

Dave is essentially the guy you see on TV. Confident but not cocky. I bit of a surfer dude
that loves to rock climb. I see him at the gym a couple times a week. Based on what I've
seen he lifts to help climb at not to bulk up. He usually lifts for a while then heads off to the
climbing wall.

I knew Dave wouldn't make it to the end because he isn't by nature a manipulative person. I think
Matt, Butch and Christy are gone next. Then Rob. I think Jenna will not fair well in physical challenges, Heidi not well in mental. Alex is strong in both areas.

Sorry no good stuff but that's Dave."

There ya go, remember all the guessing is my brother and I doubt he has any inside info. To be honest my brother is a lot like Dave in some ways - lol.

As to the Bar thing, turns out my brother only made it to one due to the fact that he and my sis-in-law have a 1 year old. And that was the "Date" Episode. He said Daves family was there with him and about 50-75 people.

So there ya go.

On the Rover front, I will be at the June 25th launch with my brother (and our families). I am keeping my fingers crossed nothing gets pushed back!!

Ok in tonight's show, Dave had a huge thick book spread on his lap, I tried to find the thread where it listed the survivor's luxury items but I couldn't find it. Anyone tape the show? Anyone know what this book was?

Didn't Dave bring as his luxury item a sketch pad and pencils?
