Having Fun at JPL

I've finished my first week at JPL, and already this looks to be a fun summer. We are revising the last year's design, switching instruments around, adding a Lidar here, shaving off some structure mass there, etc. to create an even better spacecraft. Also, it looks like I'll be able to go the Seventh International Mars Science Conference (which just happens to be at Caltech, while I'm here), so that should be fun.
