Greetings Mars Educators--- Discovery Channel is advertising a show that will air December 1 at 8 p.m. Eastern/Pacific called "DESTINATION MARS." It is about sending a human crew to Mars. The adds make it it look pretty cool. This show airs just HOURS before the scheduled lift-off of Mars Pathfinder, which goes just after 2 a.m. Eastern on December 2. Also, if you happen to be reading this message and you are in the Phoenix, Arizona area, November 6 (tomorrow night) at 7:30 p.m., KAET, Channel 8, is running a 1/2 hour special about Arizona State University's Mars Projects. (sorry, out-of-state folks, I am too busy to make a copy for you). We are getting psyched here for the Mars Global Surveyor launch. Most of our MGS TES group is going to Florida to watch the launch. A few of us are staying in Arizona to do an open house (we have several school groups coming, plus TV and print media). It will be a fun day! TO MARS!!!!!!!!!! Ken Edgett Arizona Mars K-12 Education Program p.s. Congrats on a great job with the LFM presentation at WSTA this past Saturday to: Jo Lynne Roberts and Bonnie Lock! Great job!
