The agency pointed to the live broadcasts by the Apollo moonwalkers more than a half-century ago and, more recently, live snippets from spacecraft deliberately crashing into the moon and an asteroid. Near real-time footage from so far away is "rather rare," according to ESA. Pictures and other data usually are stored aboard the spacecraft and later transmitted to Earth, according to Wood, when the spacecraft's antenna can be pointed this way. “We typically don't normally get images in this way.” this is what you would be seeing,” said Simon Wood, the mission's spacecraft operations engineer. “If you were currently sitting on board Mars Express. White clouds could clearly be seen in some of the shots. The initial views showed about one-third of Mars, which gradually grew bigger in the frames before shrinking again as the spacecraft circled the planet. Still, enough images made it through to delight the European space officials hosting the hourlong livestream. The transmission was disrupted at times by rainy weather at the deep space-relay antenna in Spain. It took nearly 17 minutes for each picture to reach Earth, nearly 200 million miles (300 million kilometers) away, and another minute to get through the ground stations. "We should be looking at whether the reorganization is to kind of cut their losses about their last team, and see if they can start a new one," he added. "This, I think, reached a head a few weeks ago when Tim Parlatore one of the lawyers on the legal team resigned."Īdding that it appears the lawyers are "on their best behavior" now, he continued, "I think if it does get an indictment, you should probably expect a reorganization of the legal team." because they were worried they might brief their sort of perceived rivals," he added. "Along the way there have been some lawyers withholding legal deliberations and kind of legal strategy, thinking from other co-counsel. And it has been going on since September and it has lasted all the way through and along the way, there's been a murder-suicide pact." "We reported this week that there's been a level of distrust and interpersonal conflict, that we did not previously appreciate. "I think, you know, it's certainly possible, right?" he replied. Noting that Lowell has called r the former president's battling lawyers a "trainwreck," Phang asked, "The fact there's a level of disorganization and infighting in Trump's legal team, going to create more problems for Donald Trump?" Screenshot of original Telnaes tweet below: Telanes had telegraphed earlier Tuesday morning that a cartoon featuring the Cruz kids would be forthcoming, tweeting: "Ted Cruz has put his children in a political ad- don't start screaming when editorial cartoonists draw them as well," and including a link to the Cruz commercial. "I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree." I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published," Hiatt said in a note at the link where the cartoon formerly resided. "It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. "But when a politician uses his children as political props, as Ted Cruz recently did in his Christmas parody video in which his eldest daughter read (with her father’s dramatic flourish) a passage of an edited Christmas classic, then I figure they are fair game," she added.Įditorial page editor Fred Hiatt disagreed, writing that he never would have approved on the cartoon in the first place. Writing at the Post, Tenaes said, "There is an unspoken rule in editorial cartooning that a politician’s children are off-limits.” The cartoon by Telnaes was in response to an ad the candidate ran during the Democratic debate on Saturday, featuring a wholesome Cruz family reading Christmas stories critical of Democrats and front running candidate Hillary Clinton, In the ad, both of Cruz's daughter join in the mockery, which Telnaes claims made them "fair game." Stick w/ attacking me-Caroline & Catherine are out of your league." The animated cartoon by longtime Washington Post artist Ann Telnaes was online for several hours on Wednesday and was immediately the subject of ire by conservatives, with Cruz sarcastically tweeting "classy" at the paper for allowing it to be published. Ted Cruz (R), the editorial page editor of the Washington Post pulled down an online cartoon depicting the GOP presidential candidate's children as organ grinder's monkeys. ![]()
