I provided IT support for several of the Mars missions including the rovers and MRO (as we know it). MRO is not a pretty spacecraft in my mind, but it has taken absolutely amazing pictures of Mars, including the rovers on Mars. Great stuff. Things that are so fascinating that I can hardly believe we actually did it! Sometimes science fact is even more interesting than science fiction. Like the photo MRO took of another spacecraft entering the Martian atmosphere.
