I spent today singing space songs to children and pontificating about Mars and it was AWESOME. Really and truly awesome. And then I showed them videos of astronauts dropping things, and we talked about space disasters, and I got to pretend to be a robot while they gave me programming instructions, and one little girl kept bringing me plants to botanize and I love my job.

These kids are so lucky though. I am extremely jealous. It turns out the wheels on Curiosity are wearing out earlier than anticipated, and NASA is crowd-sourcing the solution. So they spent all afternoon working on wheel designs for the Mars rover and tomorrow they're going to telecoference with a guy from NASA at the Glenn Center in Cleveland. asdkfjglasjdflkajg.

So, if you need me, I'll be here being really emotional about things in space.

mars, work
