In the second instalment of the new Interviews feature, I was lucky enough to get a chance to talk to Professor Steve Squyres - the lead scientist and Principal Investigator for the Mars Rover Exploration (MER) Mission, which sent the two rovers Spirit and Opportunity to Mars, where they've been for over 1000 sols!

Steve talks openly about the mission, his past and future, the highlights and lowlights of the mission, as well as providing his thoughts on the recent announcement of new groundwater evidence taken by the MGS!

I was very excited to be able to interview Steve, as I've been a long-time fan and follower of his work. You can read the interview by clicking below:
