Curiosity Lands Safely on MARS...

[Fire$torm]

The Mars rover Curiosity performs as intended and lands safely on the Red Planet. At a cost of 2.5 Billion dollars (http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-57481962-76/curiosity-rover-drives-$2.5b-make-or-break-mars-mission/), it was a huge gamble for NASA (http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-57481962-76/curiosity-rover-drives-$2.5b-make-or-break-mars-mission/) but they pulled it off.

Great Job NASA! **== **== **==
