Hi space people, I'm looking for non-NASA experts to comment on the MAV portion of Mars Sample Return, and why it's so challenging to take off from Mars. If that's you, or you know someone, do get in touch. jdaoca[at]gmail[dot]com Thanks!

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists.
