Anyone else excited about this? In less than 11 hours from now, the curiosity rover will be on the surface of Mars functional or not, in one of the most daring attempts ever attempted to land on an extraterrestrial surface.

I thought this thread was titled Mare Curiosity. But now that I know that it's about Mare's curiosity about Mars, I feel better about my mistake.

Think of all those subliminal messages your brain was sending to yourself about mare. Just think about that...

My brother works for NASA, he did all the math for the robotic arms on Opportunity and Curiosity.

He and his colleagues are having an xbox party while they wait for to see if it lands so they can tell it to do shit.

Nerds.

They probably made it possible to control it FROM THEIR XBOX!

I'm going to laugh when this thing snaps a picture of a Russian and/or Chinese Rover already there. Then when we ask them about it they're like, "Oh yeah, no bigs"
