DESCRIPTION:
16 pages of color illus. From Publishers Weekly Cornell University scientist Squyres is the principal investigator on the Mars missions that landed the rovers Spirit and Opportunity in January 2004. All rights reserved. not seen by PW. Spirit has endured a communications breakdown and a troublesome rear wheel, but Opportunity quickly found geological evidence for the existence of water millions of years ago. Expected to operate for only a few weeks, they are still going strong a year and a half later. Squyres relates the toll that monitoring the rovers took on his colleagues.

The author captures how difficult it is to explore another planet--and to be one of the leaders of the team that imagined, built, launched and drove two robots around the surface of Mars. While the story is true, the book is anything but dull. Dr. Squyers' book reads like a novel and portrays the trials and tribulations of engineers trying to build and test a machine that can travel a million miles, get bounced on Mars, unhook itself, stand up, crawl onto the Mars surface, take photos, scratch the surface of and analyze rocks, and-- travel for mor. Ian Curtis said Fantastic Read!. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for space. That said, this was a fascinating book from beginning to end. It started with a walkthrough of NASA bureaucracy and a run down of all the missions the author worked on that never made it past the drawing board. Then it followed Spirit and Opportunity from proposal through the end of their originally proposed 90 day life. Obviously they worked a little bit better than anticipated. :D It is not a technical book, and anytime something technical is required to understand the goings on, it is expertly explai
He has gained a rare inside look at what it took for Rovers Spirit and Opportunity to land on the red planet in January 2004 -- and knows firsthand their findings.. Squyres dreamed up the mission in 1987, saw it through from conception in 1995 to a successful landing in 2004, and serves as the principal scientist of its $400 million payload. It's the age-old question: Is there life on Mars Steve Squyres, lead scientist of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover mission, sets out to answer that question and relates his findings in this riveting first-person narrative account, now in paperbackSteve Squyres is the face and voice of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover mission
