Hi!
Does the JPL do tours for the public? I'd like to take a look when I'm in CA this October.
Maybe I could take one of the Mars rovers for a spin lol
Peter J Visconti I was the VP of Sales & Marketing for the company that supplied of all of the DC-DC Converters on the original Mars Pathfinder base -I helped put over $2,000,000 of our hardward to make that mission a success.
