Seven Minutes Of Terror
A lot of people will be holding their breath during the seven minutes of terror before we learn if the landing all went well.
. . . Curiosity is really an odd looking machine that should star in a Pixar movie.

Historic Landing
With so many things that could have gone wrong, NASA still manage to make a historic landing!
NASA's Mars science rover Curiosity performed a daredevil descent through pink Martian skies late on Sunday to clinch an historic landing inside an ancient crater, ready to search for signs the Red Planet may once have harbored key ingredients for life.
Mission controllers burst into applause and cheers as they received signals confirming that the car-sized rover had survived a perilous seven-minute descent NASA called the most elaborate and difficult feat in the annals of robotic spaceflight.
Engineers said the tricky landing sequence, combining a giant parachute with a rocket-pack that lowered the rover to the Martian surface on a tether, allowed for zero margin for error.

Depraved Soul
Yes, as a matter of fact, I actually did use to work at NASA years ago.
Now, I only wish I had designed an escape hatch that would have kept yo moma away from the orangutan whose unholy union gave birth to someone as depraved as you.
. . . You do know you are a depraved soul walking among civilized people pretending to be one of us, don't you?
