3 days till Curiosity land on Mars
Pretty bold landing technique....
Keeping my fingers crossed for a safe landing because the landing site and the science that the rover will be able to do should be incredible.
Best part about this rover is its nuke powered. Plenty of juice and don't have to worry about solar panels getting dusty. I've been follwing the other rovers that have been up there daily.....opportunity is the only one still "alive"

My wives cousin worked on the computer program for the mars lander, he explained the landing technique for this one to me and I was totally amazed. The ship is going to hover over mars
Best link I have seen on the Dock, Thank you!!
awsome stuff! i love the pictures actualy from other planets . who woulda thought?cool as hell.
I was watching the video and it seems that when the heat shield pops off and the thrusters start firing for the hover it looks like the rover might get damaged by the engines.Did anyone notice that or am I missing somtin
