In the course of our enduring quest for knowledge about
ourselves and our universe, we haven t found answers to one of our
most fundamental questions: Does life exist anywhere else in the
universe? Ten years and billions of dollars in the making, the Mars
rover "Curiosity" is poised to answer this all-important
question.
Here, Rob Manning, the project s chief engineer, tells of
bringing the groundbreaking spacecraft to life. Manning and his
team at NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, tasked with designing a
lander many times larger and more complex than any before, faced
technical setbacks, fights over inadequate resources, and the
challenges of leading an army of brilliant, passionate, and often
frustrated experts.
Manning s fascinating personal account which includes
information from his exclusive interviews with leading "Curiosity"
scientists is packed with tales of revolutionary feats of science,
technology, and engineering. Listeners experience firsthand the
disappointment at encountering persistent technical problems, the
agony of near defeat, the sense of victory at finding innovative
solutions to these problems, the sheer terror of staking careers
and reputations on a lander that couldn t be tested on Earth, and
the rush of triumph at its successful touchdown on Mars on August
5, 2012. This is the story of persistence, dedication, and
unrelenting curiosity."
How does one turn unassuming words into phrases that are beautiful,
effective, and memorable? Using examples from Churchill, Lincoln,
Dickens, Melville, and many others, this book examines the most
valuable rhetorical devices with amazing clarity.
