For you folks that might be in the San Francisco Bay area and not on
the ames-releases I pass this to you.

For others further away and not on the list, I pass to you to let you
see where things are going. I will see if I can go over to the
lectures. (in the next building over) If you have an interest or
opinion or something you would like me to look for, let me know.

I suppose the disclaimer would be that I am not a scientist and have
no say in what is presented. I do have ears and eyes though.

Chris McKay has been digging under rocks all over this planet and is
very interested in what we might find on Mars and how we might make
it possible for humans to exist there.

If this interests you as we look at the Moon, Mars and Beyond - stay tuned.

For others, my apologies for two emails in the same day. :>
