"From Andrew Mishkin, a senior systems engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a leader of NASA's robotic program, comes an insider's look at the most fascinating and audacious space project to date - the Mars Pathfinder probe that electrified the world's imagination. Far out of reach of her human creators - one hundred twenty-two million miles from home - a sophisticated, thinking robot smaller than a microwave oven crept among the rocks of an alien landscape. Six-wheeled Sojourner was doing what had never been done before - exploring the rough, red terrain of Mars. Soon, she would beam spectacular pictures of her one-of-a-kind travels back to Earth. And millions of people would be captivated.

With witty, compelling anecdotes, he describes the clash of temperamental geniuses, the invention of a new work ethic, the turf wars, the chewing-gum solutions to high-tech problems, the controlled chaos behind the strangely beautiful creation of an artificial intelligence - and the exhilaration of inaugurating the next great age of space exploration." - from the inner front jacket flap.…
