"When people find out about that they're going to say 'who put that there?'," Buzz Aldrin once said of the monolith.

Right now that quest was perhaps nowhere more concentrated than here at Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS, or sometimes "MS Cubed"), where the Surveyor camera was designed, constructed ...
