I shot Mars with a laser beam!
OK, so it wasn't the entire planet I hit, it was just a thin slice of a shergottite. And the laser only made a crater 54 microns wide, and 20 deep. But it was still pretty cool. I just hope the data turn out well.
I'm a geochemist. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, poetry, drillers, trees, bicycles, and cosmochemistry.
