Interview
Q 10:  Speaking of the unknown, is there anything you ran into that you didn't expect?
 
A 10: 
There was a lot I didn't know about on Mars before going into this project. And there was certainly a learning process in exploring the planet. We didn't know how the Rover was going to perform. Part of the mission was how to characterize this design of a Rover, the delivery process, the technology, and to prove whether or not this is a good method for the future. And of course the other major component was the science of discovering what the rocks are made of and characterize the meteorology of Mars. Every day there were new things to discover in both the science and technology side, and it was just a joy to work on.
