1/1/05: Leap Second
This year’s leap second may not help me and my habitual 10-minutes-late-for-everything, but it did get radiated to all the spacecraft. Just in case you were worried.
I'm a research scientist working on rocks from the Moon, Earth, Mars, and asteroids. I'm a geologist by training, so I use my geological eye on mystery rocks to try to understand their home planets without going there. But I would love to go there! I have to make do by being on the Athena science team for the Mars Exploration Rovers and seeing Mars through the rovers' eyes - and planning for robotic exploration of the Moon.
