Wheels down on Mars

Curiosity Rover, Mars 1 Minute

As a scientist I can’t help but be overjoyed and amazed at the successful landing of the Curiosity Rover on Mars early this morning. Regardless of what happens ahead, the ability to autonomously land an automobile-sized robot under the conditions of the “7 minutes of Terror” is a lasting human achievement worthy of the 21st century.
