Grant awarded, yay!

I may be a hopeless loser in some social realms, but at least I can conduct research pretty well... waiting in my inbox at work this morning is a congratulatory letter from the Office of Space Science, notifying me that my proposed automated Mars drilling project has been accepted at a level of $1.3M over three years, 2003-05. That's excellent news, and also gives me ammunition for claiming more people and higher status as I move into a new department this month at work :-).

Yay! That's wonderful news!

More field testing, though... it pretty much guarantees that I'll be doing something on Devon Island during the next 3 summers. Unless we test together with CS in Spain in 2005.
