NASA'S CURIOSITY ROVER LANDS ON MARS
------------------------------------
In an unparalleled technological triumph, a one-ton nuclear-powered rover the size of a small car was lowered to the surface of Mars on the end of a 25-foot-long bridle suspended from the belly of a rocket-powered flying crane late Sunday to kick off an unprecedented $2.5 billion mission.

I'm amazed that this landing even worked! It was so complex and
delicate, and Mars tends to eat things like this... Stunning...
