8:08 NASA/GSFC/TRL/2..... Hi This is Kay at Goddard TRL with some teacher friends. We have a question about the iron content of the Martian soil. Is the iron in the soil in high enough concentrations to extract and use as a building material? And, question #2: Are the silicate concentrations pure enough to use in the construction of O'Neill Spheres?

8:13 Tom..... Cris: Live From Mars realaudio stream is quite clear here in the WOC

8:15 Please do not post your picture. I appears on a large screen behind the speaker and is a distraction to people here. 8:16 Phil.... The plan to bring back samples is.. Launch 2005 Return sample to Earth 2008

8:16 Pauline..... My real Audio is not working - it just reloads and quits the system every time I have 2 windows open. The transcripts seem interesting but a bit garbled It it possible to see graphics presented earlier - or only when being shown live So far it's just been people and a podium When will the email transcipts be sent ?

8:17 There will be a chance to ask questions about the CD very soon. So send in CD ROM questions now.

8:18 BillBourn..... What are the hardware requirements for the use of the CD ROM?

8:19 JenniferSellers..... Pauline, I will mail you directly.

8:21 Pauline..... I'll try again with more punctuation. RealAudio reloads every time I try to connect it ?? I tried it last week and contacted their help desk. The only advice was to rebuild desktop which I did but didn't help. 8:21 NASA/GSFC/TRL/2..... This is Kay again at Goddard. Are participants going to receive a copy of the Mars Navigator CD-ROM?
