Default Curiosity

Sure am glad the Rover landed safely on Mars and is functioning . Had a bunch of serious concerns in the months leading up to this mornings touchdown . The technological sophistication and complexity involved were simply mind boggling , and once again the STEM community pulled it off .

Congrats on the project. The technology gained will be seen everywhere in the future. The trip and its information will be interesting knowledge too.
