Red Rover Come Over



NASA's most advanced Mars rover Curiosity has landed on the Red Planet. The one-ton, car-sized rover, hanging by ropes from a rocket backpack, touched down onto Mars last evening to end a 36-week flight and begin a two-year investigation. The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft that carried Curiosity succeeded in every step of the most complex landing ever attempted on Mars, including the final severing of the bridle cords and flyaway maneuver of the rocket backpack.

NOW FOREVER THROUGH THE AGES THE SONG EXPANDS
WATER ON MARS?
THIRTEEN MILES IN THREE YEARS
OBSERVING THE EFFECTS OF THE STONE ON HIMSELF
THE FUTURE IS CALLED PERHAPS
LUCKY TO BE SINGING MY SONG
