The Mighty Mars Rovers The Incredible Story of Spirit and Opportunity
	In what has been called the most successful space mission ever, two go-cart-sized, six-wheeled rovers named Spirit and Opportunity explored a record-breaking 15 miles of the Mars surface, snapping more than a quarter of million photos including 360 degree views of hills, plains and craters. Follow Steven Squyres, lead scientist on the mission, through the trials and tribulations of conceiving, building and rocketing the rovers to Mars. Join Steve as he sweats through the rover’s dramatic landings, puzzle with him and his team as they figure out how to make delicate rovers explore deep craters and travel up the sides of jagged mountains, and hold your breath with Steve as Spirit and Opportunity find themselves in grave danger again and again.
