Epic 4,000 word feature by Chris Gebhardt interviewing MSL Project Scientist Ashwin R. Vasavada at NASA JPL.

Another fantastic article ChrisG!
It'll certainly be interesting to see how Curiosity changes as those RTGs begin to decline.
Peter NASA:
Amazing read. Well done Chris G.

Once again proving when something unexpected happens a scientist says "Wow" when others would say "Oops".
