MARIETTA A 1995 Marietta High School graduate is living the dream of many kids who look to the stars for inspiration.
Kristo Kriechbaum, who lives in Altadena, Calif., was “always kind of interested in engineering-type stuff.”
“I enjoyed playing with Legos and Tinker Toys,” he said.
The Mars Pathfinder rover launched in the mid-1990s sparked Kriechbaum’s interest.
“It was tiny, no bigger than a toaster oven,” he said. “It blew my mind seeing this little robot on another planet millions of miles away.”
