As previously reported, there's a great lineup of speakers at the BAA out of London meeting on September 3rd - including MER Principle Investigator Steve Squyres.
Steve has kindly offered some of his time so that we can meet up and do a Q'n'A based on questions submitted by you lot. Obviously - there will be loads and loads of questions you want to ask and only so much time in which to ask them - however - I'll do what I can to pick as many of the best as I can squeeze in in the time available. There will be a write up here, obviously, and I will try and record it as an MP3 and post that here as well. Steve's book 'Roving Mars: Spirit, Opportunity and the Exploration of the Red Planet' is published next week - and a signed copy will be winging its way to the person submitting the best question! * If you have questions you want me to pitch to Steve, then drop me an email to doug@rlproject.com with the subject SS Q&A As a heads up - please take note of the other speakers at the BAA meeting - and if you have specific questions you'd like asked of them - I'll do my best to try and get them in after their presentations at the meeting. The last two ( Profs Greeley and Muller ) are on the Sunday and the Friday respectively, but I will be trying to get down to those presentations as well - but no promises. -Prof. Carolyn Porco, Principal investigator, Cassini imaging system -Prof. John Zarnecki, Principal investigator, Huygens surface science -Prof. Mike A'Hearn, Principal Investigator, Deep Impact, -Prof. Ron Greeley, Scientist on several planetary missions, Chairman of NASA & NAS Mars exploration panel -Prof. Jan-Peter Muller, Scientist on Mars Express hi-resolution camera team, University College London. Doug * 'best' to be picked by SS and myself on the day ![]() |

It was as great as Doug's splendid summary I tell ya!
Doug is as good as it gets IMO as a PR-guy for the Mer-mission, given the talks he's given, is about to do, and in daily socializing, we guys in Belgium need one just like it, and I might just give it a try ![]() And of course Steve, I can only confirm what Doug just said, he's one hell of a guy! He's a 'rock-star' -very charismatic, yet very down to earth, err-Mars that is ..and a joy to meet! I have enjoyed meeting Emily too, very nice person-and I'm about to join the society-for those who haven't- do so, it'll be well invested.. Join' em! Talking about nice people, Doug and Helen are too in real life! phew... ![]() But I'm off to bed now..I'm tired (though somehow it feels unjustified saying that after realizing ever so good what Steve and his team are sacrificing!)
