Mark Leon is awesome. It's because of him that the IRI has broadcast over NASA TV for the past two years. In 2007, we had all of our equipment set up just to broadcast to the pits and the big screen, and he came over to tell us he could call a guy and get a satellite truck to come in to broadcast the event. He's got some good stories too, like when he soldered a connection in the arctic with a paper clip.
