I will be a college freshman next year, I plan to study Aerospace Engineering in hopes of becoming an astronaut in the future, and I have a few questions: * How did you become first become involved in the Mars Curiosity project, and what advice can you give to prospective college students who wish to become involved in the space exploration industry? * How much long do you continue to utilize Curiosity before you retire the rover? Are there any plans of sending a new rover to the Red Planet? Or is the next step to send people? * Is there anything you would have done differently with the Mars Curiosity Project? Any regrets or mistakes?

Hey everyone! Thank you for taking the time to answer all of our questions. I will be a freshman in college this year and will be studying aerospace engineering. What is the biggest challenge you have faced so far with the RS-25 engine, and how have you overcome this challenge?
