Synopsis
Steve Squyres is the face and voice of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover mission. Squyres dreamed up the mission in 1987, saw it through from conception in 1995 to a successful landing in 2004, and serves as the principal scientist of its $400 million payload. He has gained a rare inside look at what it took for rovers Spirit and Opportunity to land on the red planet in January 2004-and knows firsthand their findings.

"For much of the last several centuries, exploration has been one of humanity's most important pursuits. But most of what we call 'exploration' today is not . . . This mission, however, will be exploration in the true sense -- sending robotic surrogates for human explorers into an unknown environment on a voyage of scientific discovery . . . The key is not just to follow the robots, but to follow the intense and passionate people who conceived and built them."
