QUOTE the success of "Roving Mars" has everything to do with Squyres' amiable writing style -- that and the fact that he has a heck of a story to tell.

I didn't get the impression from Roving Mars that Squyres equated not finding evidence of past water with mission failure. He did talk about how disappointed and depressed the Spirit team felt when they didn't find juicy lake bed sediments in Gusev, but I don't remember reading a single sentence that stated or implied that Spirit was a failure because of it.
As dvandorn points out, it seems like Grinspoon has a disagreement with NASA's direction on robotic exploration of Mars and is reflecting it, rather unfairly I think, in a book review. -------------------- --O'Dave
