Stuart is a former contributor to Space.com and All About Space magazine covering Mars Rovers, Search for Life, Comets, and the Apollo Program. He's a children's author, lifelong space enthusiast, and amateur astronomer who wrote about the daily adventures of the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity at his old Road to Endeavour blog. He's written a long overdue biography of Felicette, the space cat... a collection of Mars-inspired poetry... a ghost story set beneath the northern lights and a novel telling the tale of the first cat to go to Mars.
