Comment on The student who discovered water on Mars says it was a 'lucky accident'

Comments

"Using a Nasa instrument called Crism, Lujendra and his team were able to tell that these 'streaks' are covered with salts."

Hard to believe that an undergraduate at the time would have "his team". He was probably the part of a larger team that gave the undergrads the opportunity to look at the images generated by the equipment, and he was the student who found the evidence. Not saying that he shouldn't be given credit.

I took that to mean "his team" as in "the team he was part of" as opposed to "the team that he led".
