Dawn Stories

I hosted four Vesta Fiesta events.  The last one on Sunday evening was at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with only 6 tables- aptly-named "Fiesta Grill."  The spacecraft model was shown off at all the events (and got the most attention at the restaurant, interestingly enough!).
~ Mike, Solar System Ambassador
It's difficult to overstate just how amazing the Dawn mission has been to date.  Utterly remarkable and I'm sure it's going to rewrite the book on Vesta and likely reshape our ideas about what was going on in the early solar system.
~ Ian, Royal Ontario Museum
