Hey podcast listeners a big happy holidays from all of us at the Planetary Society

Thank you for a year of listening to the show. It has been a terrific year.

Nobody has had a better time doing this than me. I did want to catch

you before the end of the year and I have a gift for you in exchange for this

having to listen to this special message we We'll get to that in a moment.

Just make an appeal one more time

because if you make your donation

in support of this radio show,

planetary radio at planetary. Planetary. Or Radio at planetary.org

slash radio. You can get the tax benefits in 2013 because of course your

contributions to the Planetary Society should be tax deductible and we could certainly use the

support. Anything over $50? What a deal we will give you a planetary radio t-shirt.

Thanks so much. Now that gift?

Well, the people who only hear us on the radio will only hear about 12 minutes of my conversation

with our guest today.

You folks will get to hear a 34 minute fascinating conversation.

I think so anyway.

Hope you'll agree about the Mars Exploration Rovers.

Some stuff that you probably have not heard about them because our guest Sally Rail has been a real

mission insider as she writes about it for the Planetary Society.

So without further ado, everybody have a wonderful, wonderful time and here's the show.

Ten years of roving Mars this week on planetary radio.
