[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1004080, member: 18225"] Nasa's new Mars rover, Curiosity, is set to land on Mars at 01:30 this morning. Nasa just turned off the transmitter...now the rover is on it's own; I've got my fingers crossed. The rover capsule is going to slam into Mars' atmosphere at 13,000 mph, and land itself with rockets and a 'sky-crane'...since there is a fourteen-minute communication lag time between Earth and Mars, Nasa won't know if the landing is a success until after it's happened. They're broadcasting the landing in Times Square, NYC. Very, very cool!
