Hi, just a quick note about an appearance of our Dandelion Rover at the "Stargazing Live" BBC TV Show last month on Jan 8.
We was waiting to receive a copy of the TV Show to be able to actually show a little clip or still pictures of the appearance of Dandelion on the show, but after a long wait, we was informed by BBC that strict property right policies prohibit any reproduction of any BBC content, even still pictures!
Well, this is have a good and bad side, the good one is that we appeared on BBC!, here is the link of the TV Show:
Stargazin Live at BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01py61m
Which is actually a link to the Episode 2 of the Third Season of the show in which Dandelion show up. The TV show present a wide range of space and astronomic news and related technologies, on that particular episode, one of the topics was the "Smart Metal Alloys" (SMA) as Nitinol, which is commonly use it in space application for antenna or solar panels deployments. The producers of the show hear about our Dandelion rover design and the plans to use of SMA materials on the wheels and they give us a call.
Natalie Hewit from BBC did the interview by phone from UK, we send some pictures and additional descriptions and Voila!, Dandelion on BBC!
I get a small clip of the show for private use, I would love to posted on youtube!, but I can't, they don't allow me :-(
I was mention that it have a bad side, and that is that we can't reproduce here any part of the show nor pictures of it, so you have to make an "act of faith" and/or visit the link to try to see it online (is also not available for all countries errrggghh).
I still asking to BBC for some permissions to be able to "show something", I will posted here in case of any success....
P.S: For the GLXP guys (Camacho and company :-) , send me private mail if you want some evidence and can send privately send you a short clip of the show ;-).
