Oh, and James! Can you share a fun fact about Oppy?

Oppy started off as completely fiction as a rover who really didn’t want to work, and just wanted to joy ride around Mars. Over the course of revisions, I let my love of space shine through and it became what it is today.


The winner will be chosen at random and announced Sept. 20, 2021.
