QUESTION:
For Mike Malin: If I were in your shoes and do what you do, I think I
would be worn out. I also think it would be fun and interesting at the
same time.

ANSWER from Mike Malin on November 28, 1996:
I am worn out a lot of the time, but my work is fun and interesting 
and hard, all at the same time. Sometimes adults get so involved in 
their work they are almost addicted to it. My work is like that for 
me. I spend 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week working. And I 
LOVE IT!. Where else could I explore Mars, and dream up ways of 
exploring other planets, and look at pictures of places like Saturn 
and Venus and the Moon?

I'm glad you find Mars interesting. Always remember that Mars, the 
Moon, and all of the planets are real places, as real as Baldwin 
Wisconsin or San Diego California. They're different, and far away, 
but are still real and, I think, worthy of your interest.
