Re: Curiosity landing

Why is this supposed to be exciting? They've sent remote controlled cars to Mars before haven't they?

Right, and it has been easy and successful every time. /sarcasm

The difference is the complexity of the rover that they have sent in the past compared to Curiosity.

Re: Curiosity landing

I've been stoked for awhile, until I realized that its' happening 10:31 PST. I don't think I can stay up till 1:31 here. :\


They should really have given the landing schedule in Martian time.

Re: Curiosity landing

What amazes me is that they're expecting that thing to be there collecting data for two years? The operators will need absolute nerves of steel. One mistake and the programme is screwed. What if there is a single malfunction? Strong winds? Aliens...

Re: Curiosity landing

I'm serious. They're that confident that their workmanship is THAT good to have it going for two years...?

I have a watch that lasted 4 years, it's pretty intricate. My computer has lasted 5 without needing a maintenance guy standing next to it.
