Just found this excellent Steve talk on YouTube. I like the panoramic picture of him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtMLzn40XzQ The part beginning here is a great recognition of all the great work done by so many in here from Steve. Great stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtMLzn40XzQ...tailpage#t=844s -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"

For me one of the most interesting tidbits was the background story on just how MRO ended up with a transponder operating at the same frequency as the one on Spirit. I knew it was a matter of "we didn't expect the rovers to still be running when MRO got there" but didn't know they actually used a duplicate 'spare' transponder from the MER project.
