We interviewed Mitch Schulte, Mars Exploration Program Scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC and our NZ Astrobiology Network official adviser. Mitch talks to us about Perseverance, Mars regolith, asterisms, working from home and we are listening to sounds from Mars and try to find out how our voices would sound like if we were on Mars. You can do this too at https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/sounds/ Simply record yourself and then play it back. The interview was taken in July 2021 by Hari Mogoșanu and Sam Leske.
