More like a nuclear powered all-terrain vehicle with a frick'n laser on its head, delivered by an ill-tempered flying saucer.

Hehe...
Or this one...
So you give gold medals for falling into a pool, but I stick a 100,000,000 mile landing and get jack-squat? Thanks, humanity.

Starting to lean towards the science and away from the engineering now.
Will be interesting how the interest holds up.
Most of these robotic probe threads get the occasional bump from racshot and not much other action.

Curiosity's middle name might be Patience, as it will take time to get everything checked out, including before they are ready to drill
Curiosity was watching the presser:
I don't care those JPL nerds say, my middle name isn't PATIENCE, it's DANGER… obvs!

As things settle down into routine, I usually find myself focusing on the mission website instead of NSF. While everything is dynamic, it's hard to beat NSF as a aggregator for the best information, and even when it becomes routine, this forum is still the place to discuss what's going on.

Sorry if it's been posted before (I searched but did not find), but Google Earth (Mars view) has been updated with Curiosity's location already.

.@b97: Is Mississippi red mud is the same as the red dirt on Mars? // They're both red for the same reason -- oxidized iron.
SarcasticRover SarcasticRover @SarcasticRover
@neiltyson WRONG, NEIL! Mars dirt is red because of all the blood spilt during the Martian Civil Wars! Where did you learn to be science?

One of the first things I read about the Curiosity rover was that it was about the size of a Mini Cooper.. We can now land a Mini Cooper on Mars. If I had $2.5 billion and cancer, that is definitely how I would like to go..

Guess it would be more comfortable than the Gemini VW bug front seat, but cooped up for 9 months in the front seat?

Haha.. that made a lot more sense when I realized "Gemini" was a model of VW.. I know the American program was rushing to catch up at the time, but still..
