On Saturday and Sunday, January 24-25, 2004, members of the Northern California chapter of the Mars Society participated in a Mars outreach event at the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. The event coincided with the successful landing and transmittal of the first pictures from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity, and the partial repair and continued success of MER Spirit.

KTVU Channel 2 (Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose) was there Sunday, and broadcast a segment on both their 5 PM and 10 PM news programs that evening. The link above contains a portion of that segment, with an interview with member Bill Clancey, a researcher at NASA Ames, and demonstrations of the Mars Analog spacesuits by members Bill Weitze and Justin Milliun.

Also present at the Tech were members Jim Brown, Frank Crossman, John McGowan, Joel McKinnon, Maarten Sierhuis, and Jean Marie Walker. Thanks to all who made this happen.
