	`TEXT:`
/LP, /TX	`Space exploration has always been a part of Joe Kaczmarek's life. He hasn't`
	`been to the moon or Mars , but the 21-year-old Boca Raton man was born on`
	`July 20, 1975, six years to the day after the first moon landing. Today,`
	`Kaczmarek is a member of the Palm Beach County chapter of the National`
	`Space Society.`

	`"I've been interested in space since day zero," he said.`

/TX	`At the South Florida Science Museum Sunday, Kaczmarek and about 2,000`
	`other people explored the wonders of Mars , watching "Live From Mars " on`
	`NASA television, attending the planetarium show "The Red Planet" and`
	`checking out the museum's other exhibits.`

	`It exceeds our wildest expectations," said Gary Bogner, the museum's`
	`director of astronomy.`

	`In fact, a few hundred people had to be turned away from the West Palm`
	`Beach facility.`

	`"Live From Mars " was a satellite program that introduced and explained`
	`the latest photographs from Mars and showed people from around the`
	`country asking scientists questions about the project.`
	`(...)`

	`"There's a lot of public attention to this," said Mark Penntila of Lake`
	`Worth, adding that the growth of communication on the Internet enables`
	`people of all ages and educational levels to watch as the mysteries of`
	`space are revealed.`

	`Caitlin Carnes, 5, of Boynton Beach, watched intently and occasionally`
	`lent a hand as her father, Jim, helped her assemble a lander.`

	`Susan Carnes watched with a smile as they worked together. Like many`
	`people at the museum Sunday, she's excited about the mission to Mars .`

	`"I think it's incredible," Carnes said. "The sharpness of the pictures`
	`was amazing."`

	`McGee said that the National Aeronautics Space Administration's`
	`Discovery program, which spends less on each mission but sends out more of`
	`them, should keep people interested in space.`

	`(. . .)`

	`"I'd like to drive a car on Mars ," Shannon said. )`
	`CAPTIONS: Photos by Vincent F. Safuto ; Megan Behringer, 10, of`
	Wellington, assembles her `Mars lander' at the National Space Society's
	`exhibit at the South Florida Science Museum on Sunday afternoon. Megan's`
	`lander was dropped from the ceiling a few minutes later, but the egg it was`
	`supposed to protect did not survive. Michael McGee, right, president of the`
	`Palm Beach County chapter of the National Space Society, shows Don Paxson,`
	`of Jupiter, where the Mars Pathfinder landed.`
