My favorite probe is the NEAR Shoemaker, partly because it was the first manmade object to land on an asteroid, partly because my university built it, and partly because of despite how many things went wrong due to some brilliant people, it still managed to accomplish its scientific goals and more.

What is your favorite probe/satellite/rover/lander and why? Was there one moment in your life when you knew, just knew deep down, that you were going to be involved in space, or did it happen more serendipitously
