Thread: We landed on Mars!

Curiosity, America's largest rover weighing three or four times more than any other rover to be put on Mars, has landed. Pictures are coming in -- it takes 13.8 minutes to transmit information between the two planets. It's cool.

Those guys were freakin' nervous. All the methods they had previously used to land rovers were out of the question due to the weight of this rover. They winged it. Fuck yeah America.
