I was going to stay awake last night to 1:32AM it is exactly time for the latest Nasa Curiosity Rover to touch Mars ground, the trip from Earth was about 6 moths +, it will also be the length it will take us human to get to Mars, 2023, but by that time we could have better nuclear engine or other type engine could fly us faster maybe cut down to a month or even less :). This mars rover cost over $2 billion, it is larger than a passenger car, a SUV size, it is nuclear powered [and nuclear engine usually last up to 100 years or so] so this rover does not rely on solar power, it is fully equip with a lab that will do all the digging, sampling, laser technology and off course 17 HD camera, and more. Very exciting for NASA and off course the communities of people whom love space exploration like me whom just love science but hate to go to school to learn science hehehe, maybe because I just need to learn what I need know 🙂
