NPR reports on Mars Mission



National Public Radio reported on the Mars mission and the need to
protect the electronics from the deep cold.  I was waiting to hear about
the Pu-238 heaters, but no luck.  The reported said that "new,
lightweight insulation" was used to prevent freeze-up.  No mention of
the "P-word."  Anyone surprised?
