Very cool.

Last time I was on mars, three guys tried to rob me. No wait, that was on Navy blvd. Nevermind.

That's a cool photo. Truly amazing tech to accomplish this. I understand that Curiosity rover is about the size of a Mini-Cooper. Have you seen the HD video of the descent?

I'm not sure that link will take you right to the video but surfing their site a little will get you to it. Video section, most popular. Wouldn't let me copy and embed it here.

That's funny. Reminds of the movie "Enemy Mine", when Dennis Quaid finds a futuristic Pepsi can in the middle of no where on an alien planet.

That was a favorite movie of mine back then...Great interaction.
