re: I wonder if they'll make the signal publically available?
Nathan Koren — (archived)

I'm thinking of the way that the eager hordes in the amateur community managed to tease a lot of good stuff out of the raw images... and I'm also thinking that I know someone who enjoys nothing better than pulling data out of very fuzzy signals. He's retired now, but developed some rather exotic information-extraction techniques while working on some [NAME OF GOVERNMENT AGENCY WITHHELD] contracts, and moreover he actually ENJOYS doing that kind of stuff. I could easily imagine him attempting to extract the Huygens data, simply as a hobby -- and if he couldn't crack it, then perhaps someone else like him, could. In any case, they'd certainly stand a better chance of getting some data out of those signals, if they made the datasets publically available.

Cheers,

Nathan.
