Yep, looking forward to seeing some pics of the Red Planet.
This jaunt is to see if conditions ever existed to sustain life.
Oddly enough I was watching some of the extras on Total recall yesterday...
You never listen to word that I said
You only seen me for the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been the colour of my hair.

Cats everywhere breath a little easier
Imagine the headline if it had crash landed on a cat sanctuary...

Nuclear battery and laser system? sounds dangerous.
Self-replicating robots, Mars will be colonised at an exponential rate, in 50 years our kids will have to unite the planet to resist invasion by Curiosity's progeny.

There's a bit of distance between you and it.
The nuclear battery is a good idea, one of the things that really restricted the last rovers has been keeping their solar panels clean enough to keep them warm over winter, and obviously they had to sleep at night. With a nuclear power source this bad boy should be able to keep going 24/7 for up to 14 years.
