[DeTomaso] [EXTERNAL] RE: NPC NPC but Pantera adjacent

[Himes, Terry (US 397C)]

Nope.  Not in the video. My support has been remote. Very limited people allowed to
travel during this pandemic. Mostly the hardware and mechanical engineers. Only one
systems engineer to oversee the transport. 

Us ground software guys are kept at a safe distance.   __

    Here is a link to a short-video of Mars 2020 travels from JPL to KSC.
    Launch window starts July 30 and extends to Aug 15. NAV is really extending the trajectory with that late date. Hopefully it will get off on July 30th.  We will still do six (6) TCM’s (Trajectory Correction Maneuvers <burns>) during the 7 month cruise.

    Hitting our Mars landing ellipse is like hitting a golf ball in San Diego and making a hole-in-one in Ireland.

    The reason I bring this up, is our friend Mike Drew was involved in some way with his C-5. Maybe he can regale us with his escapades in Coco Beach.
