No Hostage to Earth's Geology
Pasadena - Jan 21, 2004"I started my career [studying] lunar samples," said Dr. Dave Des Marais, who is from NASA's Ames Research Center and lead scientist for the Spirit rover's long-range planning group. "So this is a repeat of that rewarding experience..Beyond the challenge of adjusting in the first week, the big challenges are in dealing with the outside world, being careful when calling people. We all wear two watches on our wrist--one for Mars' time, the other for Earth. [For science, the challenge] is not to be hostage to having learned geology on Earth."
