Congratulations @NASA!

Excellent news about the successful landing of Curiosity Rover on Mars. A major technological achievement (landing on Mars is anything but easy) and the sky-crane technique may pave the way for a manned landing on Mars.

Opportunity is no longer alone on the Red planet!

#curiosity #mars RT @Paul_Cornell: As Eugene Byrne put it: 'The nerds just took Gold in the 560 billion metres'.

My effort is if the rover had landed on any putative Martians pet the the newspaper headline could read "Curiosity killed the cat!"... (Bah-dom-boom! Thank you I'm here until Friday, please try the veal....)
