Software development on Mars

Pretty interesting. Don't know why I would have thought developing software for the rover is fundamentally any different that any other software but still interesting and surprising to hear how surprisingly "normal" it sounds.

""The irony of it was that the operating system was doing exactly what we'd told it to do," Klemm lamented"

I wouldn't expect the mainstream media (NBC, CNN, etc.) to give this detailed of an explanation but I'm sure this will be interesting to the folks who read our blog.  Lot's of good info on exactly what went wrong on Mars with the Software on the rover.
