Interns for space

For those of us looking for internships have you ever considered one with space? Forget the day after day sun filled summers or backpacking through the mountains, wouldn't it be way more fun to play with space?

That is what Chris del Guercio did over the summer. A handful of other students and Chris got to be a part of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Instead of pretend playing with ships they were actually plotting travel lines for real life space ships. Chris and his crew spent the summer gathering and organizing data from terrestrial areas. Now does that sound like a summer job or what?
