Not just JPL. One of the lesser-known facts about the Mars Exploration Rover project is just how large of an effort was required to pull off this mission. Representatives from literally hundreds of different government agencies, universities, companies, and organizations, both domestic and international, have participated in the development and operation of the rovers. Steve Squires, the Principal Investigator for the science team, is one of the best-known "faces" of the project. The contributions that Steve made to implement this mission are enormous. But simultaneously, one cannot over-state the value of the efforts of the nearly 6000 other people that had a role in the project, from the beginning in May 2000 through today.
