Because I wanna see what people are really made of.

Shout out to my fellow spectroscopists. LIBS is awesome. Like, check out the ChemCam. The ChemCam is a laser that shoots rocks on Mars to analyze their composition using LIBS.

As the story goes, Roger Wiens, one of the scientists on the team that made the ChemCam, had a bumper sticker that read “My other car shoots rocks on Mars.” A great teachnique - who wouldn’t want to own it?

For science :3

Good question, dog!
