People throughout history have shared the same view when it comes to exploration, and discovery. Plus all the major news networks were excited about this event.

Well, I think this is exciting!! I've always enjoyed space exploration and this new feat is something I'm really interested about. I can't wait to see more hi-res pictures of Mars and what mysteries Curiosity will unsolve for us Earthlings over the next two years!!

I am disappointed that it is not like the most accurate scientific movie ever.

Didn't the President dismantle NASA? I'm just glad this has happened. Go USA! Go Earth!

No, they just ended the Space Shuttle program.

I watched a nat geo documentary about this thing and the guys that made it, pretty fascinating especially the landing system, it actually had a little crane claw thingy with rocket thrusters that floated in the air and lowered the rover the ground, then blasted off

Was like something out of a scifi movie (but sci real?).

The greatest engineering minds in the world and they perfected...the claw machine

Next step, a full blown college on Mars.

It looks like a road going into that mountain, they're obviously looking for insurgents.

Caster13 · August 11th, 2012, 07:44 PM

It looks like it could be here on Earth, but it's a whole other world. Wow....

SapperSix · August 11th, 2012, 08:02 PM

That's Venus before the probe got destroyed.
