Imagine how far space exploration would be at the moment if the U.S dedicated as much money as they do on wars/weapons/military. This gem of a project cost 2.5 billion; That's about as much as the U.S. is spending a year on ammunition and fuel in the dumb Iraq/Afghan wars.

Godspeed Curiosity!

[djgrekos]

pff... instead of fighting diseases & poverty in the world many ppl worry about how to get to other planets! mankind isn't human at all...

[n3rdbear]

@djgrekos are you retarded? it's called different fields of science. There's geology, there's oceanography, and there's the medical field for your whining interests. Not everyone is interested in your communistic interests so they chose to work in space technology.

[mandoelpaso]

what happens if the rover lands upside down? =\

[GameDoctor21]

genius

[RPPOZZ]

I hope they haven't forgotten a mars road tax disc and vehicle insurance, you never know what they night bump into, Good luck MSL and it's great to see really smart people doing really great things

[voodoo2110]

For god sake what is the launch date???

[JohnPiperBoots]

@voodoo2110 The US space agency will get its first opportunity to launch the robot - also known as the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) - at 10:02 local time (15:02 GMT) on Saturday.

[rone100theone]

It will be a successful mission and technologically with new scientific knowledge. Ok NASA success to all who worked and work and will work

[rone100theone]

Certainly not occur as the Russian probe. But when you get there on Mars will be hard, but I believe in success. And queo see real footage of Mars, no photo montages, after all we are in 2011, 2012 is not it?: Okay NASA

[Humanity0destroyer]

Holy Martians! it's like a Sci-Fi Movie, but "REALly" better *o*

[PaddyPatrone]

i hope the lifting system realy works. Hope it doesn`t crash on mars

[MrCooker68]

where the hell did us humans get the knowledge 2 build somthing as perfect as curiosity , sorry but i think nasa are bullshitting us all, if anything these scientist and engineers are the aliens themselves so no need to go looking 4 microbiol life lol, you just need to look at the stones of balbek 2 realise we wer not responsible for building these massive structures and must have been some sort of alien intervention ,or even the great pyramyds, the aliens wer just tring to fuk wi our minds

[DarkSmith91]

What role does Howard Wolowitz play in this mission ?

[Saukko31]

I can't wait to see Curiosity in action.

[SirThaddeusWalters]

Incredible; the culmination of human knowledge & know-how is in these endeavors. Future is now!

[petefentonp]

science flies you to mars, religion flies you into buildings.

[Jll3001]
