Just Insanely Amazing!! Mars Rover Curiosity

Just came accross these a minute ago. 

Everytime I try to wrap my mind around this it just fricken boggles my mind.

Mars is never closer than 35 million miles so I'm not sure where it is now or was when the last rover landed but this is the stuff Sci Fi is made of.

We built it, fired it off, landed it, send it messages, and all the while it does it's thing and sends back pics in Hi Def.

Just couldn't help myself.

smoke and mirrors... they didnt land on the moon either.










kidding.

Yes, mindblowing. 

I love it!  The words, "In God We Trust" are on the Mars rover.  It's used for calibrating the cameras on a Lincoln penny.  That's gonna tick off the atheists.    oops!  Too late now to do anything about it now. 

Heard they were playing some music on it too....  just to piss off the resident aliens.

Voyager passed close to Europa (V-ger for trek fans) Gonna be really cool when we see probes land and possibly find life on that Ice planet with open water in the middle... http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/europa_20111116.html   Cool stuff!!!
