Movie: Roving Mars

Post by rallen911 »

Has anyone seen the IMAX movie about Mars?

I took my son to it on Sunday, and my only negative comment is that it was too short!! We both really enjoyed it. I really like hearing from the engineers and about the planning of the mission. I would really like working on that sort of thing. It's a lot easier to justify working late because "the launch window will be closed" rather than "the customer just wants it then".

My son said he still doesn't want to be one of the first people on Mars, though. He said that maybe he'd like to work on the mission in some other capacity.

There was a mock-up of one of the landers along with a table full of MAS stuff, so we stopped and looked a bit. I looked for a membership form, but didn't see one. I guess I'll have to print it out again... This time, I really will fill it out and write the check.
