Today, I'm not talking about the Star Trek series...I'm just talking about space! Just finished watching Curiousity land on Mars. ULTRA cool. It is absolute amazing that they hatched this plan 8 years ago, had to wait 8.5 months for the rover to get to Mars and how that rover had to land just perfectly based on velocity, altitude, dealing with the atmosphere and everything else...seriously, it's absolutely short of amazing that the rover landed on Mars.
Seeing the first images was unbelievable. That's fricken MARS. Think about it....2.5 million years ago, humans' ancestors were making stone tools. Today, we landed on another planet...again.
As new discoveries bring up more questions, in the words of the crew at mission control, "let the science begin."
Go Curiousity!
