I was surprised to learn that this mission to Mars is the first since the Viking landers in the '70s. I was under the impression (mistaken?) that we have a pair of motorized skateboards that are roaming Mars and looking at rocks, up close! I am also aware of images that were attributed to a Mars orbiter, including the (in)famous "face" on Mars...
I think we need an Olde Grouche to look over the product for major bloopers...

If you will read it more carefully, you will notice a large label saying the action starts in 1993...

billg, if you go to chapter 11, you'll see the "skateboards" you mentioned. I think perhaps some of the source of confusion has to do with how the page is laid out -- I'll see if I can do anything to clarify this.

On the other hand, while I chose interview subjects who met my criteria without regard to gender, I think my odds of choosing a woman were lower: there were more men working on the projects, and I focused my interviewing on people who had worked on multiple missions to Mars, further lowering the odds that I would choose a woman (since I suspect fewer women worked on the older Mars projects than have worked on the current projects).
