3:10 Adam Stelzner

There's just plain crazy and there's the right kind of crazy. A career as a NASA engineer seemed crazy to  Adam Stelzner when he was an average student, failing geometry, playing bass in a band. But that changed when he found his passion in the stars. Landing a rover safely on Mars seemed crazy too, but Stelzner led the team that put Curiosity on the Red Planet. He talks about the right stuff the engineers on the ground need to pull off big projects in space in his new book, "The Right Kind of Crazy: A True Story of Teamwork, Leadership, and High-Stakes Innovation."

3:35 Voices

The group of 6 are part of New Zealand’s Leprosy Mission and they’re there to give back to their home country.
