This week we've invited JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, Rob Manning, back to discuss Mars exploration and, in particular, Mars Sample Return. As we discussed in episode 107, that project is in a bit of trouble. Rob was the Chief Engineer of every Mars rover up through Perseverance and the overall Chief Engineer on Perseverance, and he has some unique insights on how we have explored Mars, why it matters, and what the future holds... especially with regard to returning samples to Earth. Join us!

Headlines:

NASA held a press conference to explain the latest delays with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which stem from issues with a helium leak and concerns about the reaction control thrusters that could lead to a loss of redundancy during reentry
The European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope returned its first science images, providing stunning new views of galaxies never seen in such detail before to help unlock the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy
Main Topic - Mars Exploration and Sample Return:

Rob Manning recounts his extensive experience with Mars exploration at JPL, from the Sojourner rover and Pathfinder lander in the 90s to the currently operating Curiosity and Perseverance rovers
Curiosity confirmed the past presence of water on Mars, while Perseverance is collecting carefully selected rock samples to eventually be returned to Earth
The Mars Sample Return mission would bring pristine samples back to Earth for in-depth study, but is an extremely complex and costly endeavor facing budget challenges and potential delays
Rob explains why returning samples is so critical - context is key and current meteorite samples have been altered by their journey to Earth, whereas carefully selected samples could reveal much more about Mars' history and potential for life
Challenges for Mars Sample Return include the large size of the lander, the need for new parachute and guidance technologies, and planetary protection requirements to prevent contaminating Earth
NASA currently has no plans for additional Mars missions beyond sample return, and faces a potential loss of institutional knowledge as a "quiet period" approaches, highlighting the need to maintain momentum in Mars exploration

Emily Dreibelbis from PCMag joins Mikah Sargent this week. Emily talks about Scarlett Johansson and OpenAI. Could generative AI be coming to Alexa in the future? If your meme game is on point, then you may have a future with politics. And Microsoft announced new Windows laptops with AI features baked into the device.

Emily Dreibelbis talks about OpenAI being under fire from actor Scarlett

Johansson as the actor voices her concern over the company's use of her voice, while OpenAI fires back, showing how they used a different actor for the voice.
Mikah Sargent shares how Amazon plans to overhaul its voice assistant, Alexa, by incorporating AI features into it and charging a monthly subscription price.
If your meme game is strong with Millennials and Gen Z, consider a career in politics. The Biden re-election campaign is looking to hire a meme manager.
And finally, Daniel Rubino of Windows Central talks with Mikah about Microsoft's next-gen AI laptops, Copilot+ PCs, announced at its Build event earlier, and some of the expected features with these AI machines.
Hosts: Mikah Sargent and Emily Dreibelbis

Guest: Daniel Rubino
