CURIOSITY HAS LANDED

I was glued to NASA.GOV last night, and into the early morning hours. NASA's rover, "Curiosity" stuck the landing like an Olympic gold medallist. Traveling at nearly 10 thousand miles per hour, the Volkswagen sized rover entered the Mars atmosphere, and came to a rest on the surface 7 minutes later.
Curiosity will now begin it's 2 year mission with the hopes of finding out if Mars was ever, or is still capable of harboring life. The camera system on board the craft is much more high tech than previous missions, so the photos of the surface will be much better. We'll also be able to get video from the surface as well. The rover will also try to solve the methane mystery. Why does Mars have methane in it's atmosphere? Here on earth, methane signifies life.
I'll be all over this mission, and I am chasing some interviews with NASA personnel and will bring them to you once I nail them down. Welcome to MARS!
