Darn, I managed to make a mistake in the post title: the lecture is scheduled for March 5, 2009, not March 3.

Paolo Amoroso For those who will miss this talk, and for those that are not sure they want to attend, I will go into the technical details on how we managed to escape Purgatory and Tyrone and how we managed to stay safe in Duck Bay. I hope I will not bore to death the audience, but the idea behind this talk is to give some examples of why managing a mission is hard and how we manage to keep our head cool under pressure.

I have prepared a little Mars treat for Paolo. I'll tell about it with a pop quiz. Forget for a moment about fashion, design and the usual tourist spots. What place might a Mars buff want to visit in Milan, Italy?

That sounds like an exciting topic for a talk, actually. Don't know what the title translates to in English, but is it something like "Escaping Mars Rover Death Traps"?

Don't know what the title translates to in English, but is it something like "Escaping Mars Rover Death Traps"? The title translates to "Stranger in a Strange Land", after Heinlein's SF novel which was my first encounter with Mars. It is also a word play indicating the Stranger (me) and the strange land (Mars). In Italian "straniero" not only can be translated as "stranger" but as "foreign person", so the word play is even more interesting in Italian as well.

I'm wondering if you have to be named Paolo to get in.

I have to say that last night has been so much fun! The Planetarium was packed! I was floored by the number of excellent questions (about 1 full hour! of questions!!). Paolo was an excellent guest, and the Schiapparelly telescope was quite emotional. Thanks!

I was floored by the number of excellent questions (about 1 full hour! of questions!!). Despite heavy rain discouraged moving across the city, you packed the planetarium dome with 310 people (max capacity around 370), from young students to elder people. At the end of the questions session, almost at midnight, you were as dehidrated and arid as Mars Thanks for the great talk!

They are good only for planetarium projections. Dome lights are indeed dim. I was so busy that I didn't take any pictures. Some friends did, and I hope they will post some of Paolo wearing his absolutely cool "just keep rovin'" MER rover driving team 5th anniversary t-shirt.
