Heh. I guess there's already something of a mystery at hand. Curiosity took this picture right after landing, apparently:
http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/49...okout/mars.jpg That smudge right at the horizon isn't in another picture taken two hours later. The geeks are speculating that Curiosity amazingly might have taken that picture right when the sky crane smacked into the surface of Mars (as it was designed to do). |

Great, they are going to upgrade the software on Curiosity's computer. Twenty bucks says it craps out.

CLT-ALT-DEL.
Seven minutes of terror waiting for the reboot. :D BTW, I think there's a NatGeo tonight about Curiosity. I think it's an old show, pre-launch, but I'm DVRing it anyway just to see what this bitch looked like in the months leading up to the successful deployment. |

Sure it didn't land in MOAB?
