jessica. ohh la la.Jessica Collisson of JPL is a hottie.


Jessica Collisson: (from her bio) when not working in the lab, she enjoys skiing and spending time at her home near the beach reading. For her, the best part of being an engineer is having the opportunity to build a device that will someday be on a different planet, and to have it teach us something in return.

At this morning's Spirit news briefing, Jessica talked about the rover's stand-up process and how her team is working-out the problem of further retracting an airbag at the front of the lander. Jessica wore red and looked great in it. Red's your color, Jessie. And your Parker Posey hairdo is fizzabulous.

Jessica is an engineer on the MER team. She earned two engineering degrees (B.S.) from UC Davis in 1999.

Dear Jessica: I enjoy reading by the beach, too. It would be so cool to pickup a pastrami sandwich from The Hat Deli and then catch an intelligent indie movie with you.
