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! (Mostly joking: I don't suppose you need a new secretary? :-)

the Lego League I'm working on with the kids has "Mission to Mars" as the topic and besides the robotics stuff, they also have to do a research report.

Would you be a good person for them to talk to, and would you be interested? I'm not on the research group, so I don't know yet what they're actually working on, but having someone at NASA to talk to might be ultra cool for them!

Let me know :)
