Curiosity Lands on Mars!

I have to admit that the possibility of the Martian rover Curiosity crashing into a mountain three miles tall and 96 miles in diameter was very much on my mind. NASA was trying not one but three new technologies to land a nuclear powered Jeep size rover on Mars. Remember, all of this is from an organization who mixed up feet and meters and drilled a probe into Mars just a few years ago?

Well my hats off to NASA and I'm pumped that the SKY CRANE worked and Curiosity settled near the foot of a mountain inside the Gale Crater. This is a huge week for NASA, the United States, American's and the world in general.

Will Curiosity find past life? If it does, it just might be a game changer and something I believe our collective human consciousness could really use.

"Today, the wheels of Curiosity have begun to blaze the trail for human footprints on Mars. Curiosity, the most sophisticated rover ever built, is now on the surface of the Red Planet, where it will seek to answer age-old questions about whether life ever existed on Mars -- or if the planet can sustain life in the future," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden.
