HAVE ANY ALBUQUERQUE AND
SANTA FE, THESE ARE NAMES OF --
THESE ARE NAMES WE ARE FAMILIAR
WITH.
STOPS
HAVE RECENTLY BEEN CHOSEN
TO IDENTIFY LOCATIONS IN MORRIS.
TAKE A LOOK.
SCIENTISTS ARE CONDUCTING
FIELD
GEOLOGY.
33.9 MILLION MILES
AWAY.
HAVING
SOMEONE ON AN ACTIVE
MARTIAN
MISSIONS IS NOT COMMON.
JUST PUTTING IT THAT WAY.
IS THE STUFF OF ISAAC AND
ARTHUR C CLARKE.
MISSIONS IS NOT COMMON.
JUST PUTTING IT THATIN THE PAST YEARS,
SCIENCE
ACTION HAS BEEN SCIENCE FACT.
I
HAVE TWO SPECIALTIES --
SPECIALTIES.
I LIKE TO SAY
NEW
MEXICO IS A
GOOD ANALOG FOR STUDYING MARS.
WITH HIS -- OTHER
PASSION, HE
IS A PERFECT FIT.
MY PASSION IS
TO HELP TELL IT
WHAT IT DOES ON A DAILY BASIS.
IT IS A DAUNTING A METICULOUS
PATH.
WE ARE ABOUT TO PLAN THE
NEXT
DAY AND WE'RE LITERALLY WAITING
OR THE DOWNLINK ON MARS, WHICH
WILL APPEAL -- APPEAR HERE IN A
FEW MINUTES.
THOSE ARE TAKEN IN DAYS.
OVER 26 MILES IN MORRIS IN
THE 13 YEARS.
WHY DOES THIS JOURNEY MOVE SO
SLOWLY?
200 BILLION MILES
AWAY.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
EVERYTHING YOU DO.
THE OTHER THINGS WE MIGHT HAVE
TO SPEND SEVERAL DAYS DOING
ACTIVITIES LIKE A PANORAMA.
MAYBE ANALYZING THE COMPOSITION.
AND LOOKING AT HIM UP CLOSE.
IT IS ALL VERY SLOW AND ARE
AWAY.
THE ROVER TEAM HAS BEEN
TRAVERSING A PORTION OF THE MARS
LANDSCAPE, A CRATER THAT THERE'S
A SLIGHT -- STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
.
IF YOU ARE SITTING, THIS IS
THE VIEW YOU AND HAVE.
IF YOU WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THE
SCALE, HERE IN NEW
MEXICO, WE
HAVE A CRATER THAT IS THE SAME
SIZE.
YOU GO TO THE
OVERLOOK, THIS IS
THE IMAGE.
NEW MEXICANS ARE ONE OF
THE FEW
PEOPLE ON
EARTH THAT UNDERSTAND
THE SIZE THEY ARE LOOKING AT.
THE EXCITEMENT AND THE WONDER
AND DISCOVERY IS JUST AS FRESH
FOR HIM AND HIS COLLEAGUES AS
THE FIRST DAY.
EARTH THAT UNDERSTAND
THE SIZE THEY ARE LOOKING AT.
HERE IT IS, IT JUST CAME
DOWN
FROM MORRIS.
WE DO
THUMBNAILS, AND THEN WE
GET MORE DATA
IN THE IMAGES/OUT.
WE ARE LOOKING AT IT SO
EARLY.
WE ARE LOOKING DOWN INSIDE
THIS
TILTING.
THERE IS THE CREATOR FLOOR.
IT IS ALSO DUSTY WITH A LOT OF
DUST STORMS GOING ON NOW.
THAT IS WHAT MARS LOOKS LIKE A
FEW MINUTES AGO.
GUESTS AT THE MUSEUM CAN
ALSO
KEEP OVER THE LATEST
DISCOVERIES.
HERE THE MUSEUM, ANY VISITOR
CAN COME AND SEE SOMETHING
FAIRLY NEW.
YOU'LL PROBABLY NOT FIND ANY
OTHER LACE IN THE NEWS MEDIA,
IT
IS JUST HERE WHERE I WILL
DESCRIBE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, AND
IT IS SOMETHING FROM MORRIS.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY WITH
ONLY ONE OTHER MUSEUM ACTIVELY
PARTICIPATING.
THAT IS THE SMITHSONIAN.
IT IS IN GOOD COMPANY.
13 YEARS AND AND IT IS ONLY
BEGINNING.
WE GET A GREATER UNDERSTANDING
OF MARS, THE PAST AND PRESENT
AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
TEACHER OF MAN KIND.
UPDATES ARE POURING IN DAILY.
