I love the work of Corby Waste!! What an extraordinary window into that moment in Mars exploration history. Corby’s illustrations didn’t just visualize concepts - they captured the engineering imagination that defined much of the Mars effort. It’s striking to look back and see how ideas like a Mobile MAV Rover or a solar‑powered Mars 2020 rover were once serious contenders shaped by real scientific constraints and possibilities. The way he describes the sample‑transfer chain really highlights how complex Mars Sample Return has always been. “Non‑trivial” is an understatement: designing a contamination‑free, mechanically reliable handoff from surface to ascent vehicle is the kind of challenge only a place like It’s fascinating to think about how that particular MSR concept evolved. The creative and technical groundwork you contributed remains part of the lineage of everything Your work helped make those invisible engineering debates visible!
