In october of 20 18, nassa will be conducting the fourth and final three day workshop to determine the landing site for the 20 20 rover. According to a page up at mars, next dot j p l dot nassa, dot gove, they'll be gabbing about the potential of three remaining candidate sites. Some people think the pool is too cold and the walls are too thin. And one person gave it three stars because the rest rooms needed to be restocked due to my stall not having toilet seat covers. Perhaps they should have sent a rover to this hilton see if it was the best place to host the conference. Either way, it's going to
The Red Planet. A mysterious dusty orb millions of miles away. Our emergency escape bunker. Alie sits down with Dr. Jennifer Buz to talk about what Mars’s DEEEEAL is, why we send rovers there, good science fiction, so-so science fiction, double egg yolks, the poetry of the moon Phobos and some of the best science dreams perhaps ever recorded. Jennifer is maybe the chillest areologist on this planet and an absolute gem.
You're going to want to look at Dr. Jennifer Buz's website JNNFR.BZ
