More NASA Spirit/Oppotunity updates - please

Thank you NASA for the daily press conferences at JPL at 9 am PST!

I don't know how I will survive without Jennifer Trospers happy smile when
/ if (?) NASA decides to drop the press briefings... I hope that it will go
on forever ... or at least for 90 days ;-)

IMHO it's a great way to tell the public about mission results, progress and
up's and down's... (We would not know - as well - how things was going just
by reading press-releases). I find that everybody in the NASA panel act
(hope not ;-) naturally and honest when "performing" at NASA TV!

But I don't understand why only a few (faithfull) journalists attends these
(again) excellent press conferences... (?) (?) (?)

Best regards

Henrik

BTW: From the http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ page:
Status reports will be provided when the mission is in operations. In the
meantime, please see: ...
Does anybody knows when the mission will be "in operation"?

For you who hasn't tuned in on NASA TV:
It's GREAT it's like being on MARS. ;-)
