Having been given that public trust, we have a responsibility to share with the public.

I can't ever remember not wanting to be a scientist.

I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like.

Mars is telling us something. I'm not sure what it is because It's speaking martian. But it's telling us something

That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.
