Can't you see? That guy threw the Curiosity Rover all the way from London. He got Gold for that.

@Capt: What dumb search page titles?

You have to wonder if this thing ever ran over any cats during it's testing.

I'm sorry, I'll see myself out.

This is a big step forward. I hope this will gain NASA founding so it wont cripple.

I can't wait for the high-def images and videos.

I laughed Strider. I must now end my life.

I too am looking forward to HD images and videos of a barren rock.

Keep in mind it's not just Barren Rock, it's Barren Rock from ANOTHER FUCKING PLANET. Fuck the Olympics, I want more Mars pictures and news.

Eddie Izzard on moon rock:

"Rock Neil!? Really? I don't know if you looked at the Earth before you left but it's made of fucking rock. Oooh, did you see Neil, on the shares market, rock went up three points. No, it didn't did it, because it's fuckin' rock!"

I hope we find something cool.

I wonder what part of Mars they aimed for specifically? They must have, we've mapped the planet with photos. Maybe they aimed for an area where we know ice is? If we were trying to discover things about Mars' past you'd think that an ancient dried ocean or something like that would be the bulls-eye.

If they are not aiming to an area crowded with women with three boobs, my second guess is they were aiming for a rocky and/or dusty spot.

They are aiming for a nice place to put the highest bidders flag at.

They landed in the gale crater. FAR away from the giant crevice we all know about. MSL is exploring an 'alluvial fan' ,which scientists think was formed by water, to search for carbon deposits in clay formed from water. The it's heading up a mountain known as Mt. Sharp. Apparently there's a lot of sedimentary layers visible, so we can get a good gloss at Mars' past in that area.
Also.
The rover shoots lasers at rocks.
