Tonight, the USA landed "Curiousity" Rover on the surface of mars.

At 1:42 AM eastern time, America landed the curiousity rover on the surface of mars. It is equipped with an organic lab that will test the surface to see if mars was ever able to sustain life. Peace and love guys!

There goes the neighborhood...

 

The big question.......will it actually work?

 

Mars is pretty cool but you have to know where to go.

 

Is it running Windows? If so there's a 50/50 chance...

 

Robots don't need windows.

 

I hope they find life on mars and a way for us to live there cause we are just raping the shit out of earth

 

^shouldn't we just keep the infection local??

 

Why? Seems like the next planet we going to rape is already dead anyway

 

Flash forward to the not so distant future....

Mars is colonized with mining operations that ship valuable resources back to earth. Earth, in turn sends much desired products to Mars for the colonies to consume. Earth puts a luxury tax on some consumables that the colonists think is unfair, the colonists jettison a shipload of Tang into space out of protest. Earth sends in the military to control the space ports. The colonies all meet and draft a document asserting their independence......

 

Which will lead to the first real 'star wars'

 

Did anyone see the video recreation of how it landed? It's interesting how they designed the decent.

 

If I had 2.5 billion dollars for every rover that landed on Mars... :juggle:
