I think there's enough content on this new section to keep it all intact.
So instead of merging it all into the robotic section, I'll make it a subsection and move it down in a few days or so.

Nice one Robotbeat! Rock on!
I'm personally hoping for more stereoscopic 3-D images from Curiosity considering the advanced imaging capabilities it carries.
(Yeah, yeah. 3-D sucks. It's a gimmick. Blah, blah. Not interested.)
I've spent many happy times completely absorbed by some of the images from Spirit and Opportunity, especially the panoramas.
A couple of glasses of wine, some good tunes playing and sitting back for a moment and allowing my brain to finish being fooled by the 3-D rendering of a particularly good image adds a new dimension of appreciation for me. YMMV
NASA and JPL sites also have libraries of other really well-done 3-D composites from various other missions, such as Cassini-Huygens, and some of them are quite stunning.

From the images thread I get the impression that Curiosity's main activity is spinning donuts and taking potshots at passing rocks. Im just glad we haven't come across any letterboxes yet.

Those aren't potshots.
Curiosity is precise.
She's leaving her mark. A real pioneer.
10000 shots? It's like Starship Troopers at Gale Crater

....even better...the xenoarchaeology department...
Or more better: xenobiology department.

It the data is at places such as the Geo Departments across the country and scientists such as Tyson are dancing in the halls, I have believe that the data will be leaked out shortly...
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
A day or two at the most....

If I were them, I'd FedEx paper copies to the reviewers, printed on something like this:
http://www.protectedpaper.comIt's not full-proof of course, but this is a game of delay-the-leak, and they only need two weeks...

"Full-proof" instead of "fool-proof"? AutoCorrupt strikes again!

Since Robert insisted we take the speculation on the announcement to the Party thread (
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=29633.msg981817#msg981817 )
Let's break out the Gin and Tonic! Though when I mentioned the Party my wife's first reaction was let's have
Water instead!
That would make sense, now if it was carbonated, and maybe had a little ethanol added...

Well, if it was a martian mouse, I so could see one having already built a nest inside of SAM.

Hello,
I am looking for links, reports, PDF documents that describe the technical feasibility of the Sky Crane design.
Did JPL/the Advanced Projects Design Team determine a probability of success for the mission? If so, on what basis?
Is the project approval of the concept available for review?
Thank You!

You should probably try posting your question over in the Q/A thread, a lot of people won't be following this party thread.

Also look on NTRS:
