Richard Cook Signal Quotations

As time goes by, and I'm not telling you otherwise, we're less confident. At this point, though, we still have a lot of things we can try and we're doing that ... Everybody has the belief that we can still get a signal from the spacecraft.

The signal we are looking for is very, very weak, about 1 watt of power -- or like looking for a Christmas tree light on Mars,

We didn't get a signal at 8:30 p.m. We hoped we would.

At this point, we're still very confident that we're in orbit in Mars and that we're going to see the spacecraft signal in a few hours.
