Scruit Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The "Curiosity" Rover (Big brother to Spirit and Opportunity) is the size of an SUV and cannot land in a pillow of airbags like the last two. It has to be lowered to the groudn by a crane. On Mars. Yup. I know, right?http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html?media_id=146903741 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It would be funny if the first pics they got from this rover were of a Martian traffic cop giving "Curitosity" a ticket; "I clocked you at 1000mph on re-entry there, Bub. Where's the fire?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
