Curiosity
A bit over a quarter of a million km's to go. I'm as curious as the next guy, but I'll have to wait 'till morning to find out of Curiosity made it safely to Mars or augured into the red planet. Good luck to the rover and all associated with this program.

It's been a very long time since I've gotten excited about NASA.
This is what it's about-for the public anyways. If it all works, it'll be a miracle. I figure then NASA should get into Engineering Cars to Appliances. Just put their name on a Fridge and I would buy it and use the LG as a composter. |
You betcha it made it !
