Larry speaks with project scientist Dr. Joy Crisp as the Mars rover gets ready to disengage from its landing platform, a tricky procedure that is keeping NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory staff awake at night. If all goes according to plan, the Rover will be able to explore the Martian surface freely as early as Thursday morning, earth time! Also, Larry speaks with Dr. Louis Friedman about President Bush's initiative to "take a second step" and put humans on Mars, via a colony on Earth's moon.
