I have some sort of problem with my inbox/outbox apparently. I cannot send PMs to anyone for some reason and apparently I can’t receive them anymore either.

So what’s up? [/quote]

I have a professional question for you on a pitch letter… but not quite sure how to address it on a public forum haha.

Well, I don’t really know much about that sort of thing, to be honest. I don’t know what’s up with this PM thing, but as soon as it gets fixed I’ll send you one and we can commiserate on something.

I see a lot of stuff on the internet about Mars and the Curiosity rover and I really would like to know how many people that post stuff about it and say that it’s “awesome” know about the Viking lander that we sent to Mars in 1976.
I’ll bet quite a few don’t.
