Cory Puffett: Dr. Hayes-Gehrke Talks about the Curiosity Mars Rover




I got to talk to Dr. Melissa Hayes-Gehrke of the University of Maryland Astronomy department about the most recent rover to land on Mars, Curiosity.

In the interview, Dr. Hayes-Gehrke talks about what she finds most interesting about the mission.

She also talked a little about her course, ASTR 220 Collisions in Space – The Threat of Asteroid Impacts. She discusses what the potential of putting human life on Mars means for astronomers in this specific discipline.
