Meet Dr. Tara Estlin, Mars Rover Driver, NASA-JPL

As a Mars Rover Driver Dr. Tara Estlin programs the Rovers computers to tell it where to drive and how to maneuver its robotic arm. She and the team at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab are using technology to answer some of todays most pressing scientific questions like Is there water on Mars?. Tara is proof that a career in space exploration could be your best job ever.

The phony showing of a mac (on purpose), as done in most youtube vids that feature sellouts, earned this video one star. And also the fact that he didn't understand that you can't "joystick" something that far away shows he's a tard. And that's why he showed off the mac. It's what most mactards do. Thumb me down all you like. But I'm right. It's true about the phony, transparent plugs on yt.

@moonsurfer77

Actually, you're wrong.

He probably isn't stupid at all, otherwise it would be unlikely he had a job like that -- HOWEVER, he knows that his AUDIENCE are retards, that is why he acts like a moron, so morons can understand and tolerate to watch it.

Oh, this video was really fun! It needs more love.

[outragousco]

Oh Rob. ;-P

Space hotties rule! Be a classic-rocket scientist, or a punk rock IT scientist, or a pop rock IT scientist, or a space-rocket scientist...just rock it out of this world (whatever "it" is), like JPL has for over 50 years! Mars: Rocks! Earth: Rocks! Saturn's Moons: Rocks! Science: rocks are so "cool", stars are so "hot", planets are often both hot and cool and rocks and not. Space is the best! Imagine life without it: impossible; imagine it without life: sadly possible.

Yes,but he doesn't works at NASA's JPL,instead he works at a university that makes things for the International Space Station
