 Pre-challenge: I have no clue how this one will do. It could totally bomb.

This is my work place: NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. The clean room for MSL (Mars Science Laboratory) which is scheduled to launch to Mars later this year. I personally don't work in the clean room. I shot this from the viewing gallery that is open to public. Took my 70-200mm with me to bring these guys as close as I could.

If anybody is interested to have their name signed on a microchip that this rover will carry to Mars later this year, do it here:

ETA (Aug 6, 2012): The link above obviously does not work now :)

My son just saw this photo and reminded me that he has his name on that chip going to Mars.


That is cool. I will provide that link for whomever that is interested to have their name signed on a microchip on this rover going to Mars. Here it is:

I like the color composition. I imagine there is a lot of distracting gold and silver?
