August 6 - Curiosity!
The Mars rover Curiostiy will be landing on August 6. Oddly, or maybe not so odd...I did develop an attachment to Spirit and Opportunity. Very excited about Curiosity.
Anyone planning on watching on the 6th? Science Channel has something scheduled, was wondering how best to tune in...TV, Nasa website?

Re: August 6 - Curiosity!
I will ask my oldest son. He is a wealth of information. He has about 10,000 books, all read, absorbed, and knows so much just about everything. (he was born when I was 7, lol)

Re: August 6 - Curiosity!
If they wanted to know so much about that planet why didn't they just ask Perve?

Re: August 6 - Curiosity!
This is interesting. I hope TSA isn't a problem when it lands.

Re: August 6 - Curiosity!
Its primary mission is to look for evidence that Mars - the planet most similar to Earth - may have once hosted the basic building blocks necessary for microbial life to evolve.
The rover comes equipped with an array of sophisticated instruments capable of analyzing samples of soil, rocks and atmosphere on the spot and beaming results back to Earth.
One is a laser gun that can zap a rock from 23 feet away to create a spark whose spectral image is analyzed by a special telescope to discern the mineral's chemical composition.
Did anyone find the best channel to watch?

Re: August 6 - Curiosity!
The show "Mars Landing 2012" ran August 6 on Science Channel and then last night it was re-run on Discovery.
Wasn't that good of a show really, and I've seen every Mars rover documentary out there.
Nasa's website has Curiosity's photos and videos, updated frequently. Been checking it out there.
