While stormy weather forced NASA to postpone yesterday’s launch of a robot explorer to Mars, Canadian scientists remained hopeful over the weekend they would win a bid to search for life on the red planet. One of those scientists is Diane Michelangeli, an atmospheric science professor at York University in Toronto. She is part of a Canadian contingent still in the running for a 2007 NASA scout mission to Mars.
