http://www.youtube.com/user/LonSeidmanInterview with NASA's Mars Relay Network Manager Roy Gladden! -

I had a great opportunity to sit down (virtually) with the manager of the Mars Relay Network Roy Gladden. He is responsible for most of the communications between Mars and Earth. In this video we discuss how the network operates, what's in store the future, and what kinds of things young people should be thinking about (and studying) if they want to work on space exploration.
