<p>I'm just curious, is anyone going to watch the commentary of the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars?</p>
<p>Actually, you just reminded me right now to do so. I really hope it doesn’t fail; going from 13,000 MPH to 0 MPH in 7 minutes can’t be easy to do.</p>
<p>i can’t believe humans sent some sophisticated junk metal to that planet mars again. </p>
<p>so ignorant of us to think we can keep intruding on it without retribution. I wouldn’t be surprised if mars shows some backbone and strikes this one down.</p>
<p>I hope it lands as well! I live near Pasadena, and I saw the rover during a visit to JPL last year. It’s so awesome and interesting to see something you’ve personally seen go to somewhere where no person has ever been. It’s just makes it more spooky and real in a way.</p>
<p>@enfieldacademy, Mars is a huge, cold rock. I’m pretty sure that if the landing goes wrong, it won’t be because that rock suddenly became sentient and decided it has had enough of our human shenanigans!</p>
<p>Curiosity has landed!!!</p>
