Curiosity, the new Mars rover, part of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), launched today, Saturday Nov. 26. The NASA spacecraft will arrive at Mars in 8 months, and then perform a 2-year exploration mission. Pretty exciting stuff!

I'd hoped for a deeper drill sampler on this one. the other two ran forever and colected plenty of surface data. still if it lands on target should get another peice of the picture

This means he gets paid more than me haha. Here are some photos from launch for those who care. I'm in photo number 3 (which is of mission control, guess that the red button does) right side between the white hair guy and the girl.
