Description: Profiles the life and accomplishments of Eletha Flores, who began interning at NASA as a teenager and is pursuing a career in robotics. Imagine a robotic pilot flying a spaceship to Mars with no guidance from human beings. After landing on the surface of the Red Planet, it steps outside, snaps a few photos, and instantly sends them back to Earth. Science fiction, right? The answer is no. Techology like this is actually being developed right now, by some of the smartest engineers on the planet!
