Huge thanks to the guys that helped transcribe this. I wanted to do something a bit better than just copy and pasting into a word document, or into a forum post - but I'm no graphic designer. Thank goodness for Publisher templates Hopefully the result something you'll all like. The odd bit I've edited just for the sake of readability - but it's 99.9% as on the audio.

Any Typos and Spelling errors, please write them down and....put them in the bin I've got bags to pack

Enjoy

Doug

Nicely done. It looks great!
Thanks to all the transcribery people and Doug of course.

Wow, that just looks fantastic! Nicely put together

When you put it all together it really is a lot. Thank god for the cooporative effort displayd here

Very nice work!

Which category do malapropisms fall under? argues vs. arduous

Very very good work, Doug! congratulations to you and all volunteers!

I've seen work from professional layout artists that's far worse than what you put together, Doug. I know, templates help a lot... ... but it really did turn out looking very, very good.

I also think the piece has intrinsic value. I bet it would make a nice sidebar in some science magazines' article about the MERs in the next few months.

The transcript looks great, especially with the topical thumbnail images in the margin. I love the pictures of Sagan with Viking and the Europa submarine.

Ditto to what everyone has already said...Brilliant work, Doug. I really was expecting a simple cut and paste job, but I should have known you wouldn't be satisfied with that. This was a fitting way to memorialize an interview that was very special to us all.

I'm amazed with the path followed by this forum...

Will there be another Steve Squyres interview?
Is there a possibility to write down a question I would like to ask him on this forum?
Doug?

P.S.
This one was great...I was amazed to find out that you have been talking to God himself (Steve S.)

I dont know if there will be another one. Depends if I can get to the US or Steve visits the UK again I'd like to interview Jim Bell actually - and Jake Matijevic as well. At some point in the not TOO distant future, perhaps 18 months or so - Helen and I will make a visit to the US and hopefully we'll be able to drop in and visit some people who made this whole experience possible.

Doug

Thanks Doug!
I belive that you will notice us and we can then post some questions...which will then be actual...

Oh, of course, it'll be the same whenever I can arrange something like this -I'll let people know and ask for questions. It was very hard with the Steve Q'n'A as it clearly..well...talk about starting big with Interviewing people - short of Mike Griffin I could have picked bigger I just hope I did justice to everyone who had questions.

A Tale of Two Rovers

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does Cornell University's Steve Squyres, the principal investigator for the Mars
Rover mission, believe there is life on other planets? "I don't have a belief
regarding that question," Squyres said.

Steve was in Honolulu jan 17-21 and I left Honolulu myself on jan 16th. So I missed his conferences by a day (too bad)...so he is moving
Can we have an "alert" topic in this forum in order to know if Steve comes to Europe or elsewhere so we'll not miss him?
