Thank you Terry, those films are awesome! I should have started my career
at Ames instead of Raleigh.
I was thinking about what "tear the car into pieces" means different things
to different people. My cells get torn apart quickly but it's hard to see
except for my change of hue and expression. On a car, the clearcoat gets
hazy and it's easy to see the change in the paint's hue and the owner's
expression. Individuals prioritize each with significant variation.

But with no oxygen there is probably no rust.A But radiation will
eventually breakdown the metal structure,
causing it to become brittle and fracture. Ionization. But itas not
quick.A Electronics are more susceptible to
this, which is why we must fly RAD-hardened electronics, avionics
and science instruments. Humans,
going beyond our magnetosphere (1m miles out) will be susceptible to
intense radiation, as it will breakdown
human DNA and cause rapid cancer.A Which is why Elon is NOT signing

On another note, we calculated the trajectory of the spaceship
Tesla, and it might come close to the
dwarf planet Ceres, where our Dawn spacecraft is now. We donat want
anything impacting Ceres until
we can send a lander there and investigate Occator crater and that
white stuff. Ceres has LOTS of water!!

Rover Status a Wheels On Mars:
A presentation Iave always wanted to give to POCA. We are closely
monitoring wheel damage. These wheels
were milled from blocks of solid aluminum, but are super thin. This
was done to reduce mass, to escape the
gravity well we call Earth.A But the pointy lava rock on the way up
Mt Sharp has done some major damage.
We are now building Mars2020, here at JPL. Itas the next rover. A
test rover has been running around our
Mars Yard for weeks now. The new Flight Software (FSW) is learning
how to drive more autonomously.
Ok. Gotta get back to work.
