I hope the first screens we will see on the screen is how a badass Alien is ripping that Rover apart with a Laser Sword. Then they invade the Earth and see me as the chosen one and obviously they make me a Jedi and id come back to the earth where you guys already are slaves and extracting Ressources for us and i could pose with my epic Laser Sword moves in front of you http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/index.html but seriously they have like 10 experiment moduls on that but not one mod to scan for bacteria. And the fail rate for the landing on the mars is pretty high too. One mistake would be the loss of years of work and 2 billion dollars. And they said it would be the last journey to the mars in this decade for the Nasa.
I have big hopes and lots of interest on this rover and the upcoming james webb space telescope. Both projects cost so much, it's unlikely well see projects of this scale in the near future. There are some interesting things for the 2020s and 2030s tho. Europa, Titan, manned lunar missions, etc.
It landed like 10 minutes ago. Are you on a delay? I was waiting for the shouting and hugging. It was fun. Couple people were crying. Really fun.
Isn't it a bit insane? We are watching LIVE pictures from another PLANET... Forget real time footage coming from wars...
There are peoples that do not believe you went on the Moon... Just saying. I hope we conquer the known universe.
