Under 30 minutes to go until NASA's Curiosity lands on Mars.

I heard they needed the worlds most reliable drivetrain for this ruggered planet so they used a Patrol apparently...LMAO

Live footage will be shown on that link above (well might be a 5 minute delay as they photoshop out the aliens and buildings, etc)

[MudRunnerTD]

and AB you thought organising the Merchandise was a big deal bud!!!

These guys just landed on MARS!

[AB]

I don't understand why they can send through 2 images live from when they just landed which have the cameras pointed to the ground so it shows about 1m2 of Mars.

Here is the photo...http://p.twimg.com/Azl5SzUCEAAyouJ.jpg:large

Then the Nasa bloke says thats all folks for the live footage as we now drive into the crater so live footage won't be available until later on???

What are they hiding...LMAO

[MudRunnerTD]

yeah you'd reckon that they would have panned out with the cam and given everyone a look before locking down into the mission.

Selfish bastards

[taslucas]

I don't really care what the photo is of, its where it's taken that's awesome.

Tap, crackle, pop

I heard it was GQ drivetrain.................Nasa didn't think a GU drivetrain was reliable enough for a mission on Mars *LMAO* Smart thinking on there part

Nah i think your wrong Todd.

They would have used a GU for sure................

What other car would you use for a few hundred k's then abandon out woop woop because its not worth bringing home!?
hahahaha

If it was a GQ they wouldnt be celebrating until they landed it back on earth!!

Landing something on Mars attached to a parachute and then cutting the nylon fishing line as it lands softly, yeah right.......about as believable as walking on the moon.

Is this piece of 'history' the Movie 'Capricorn 1' all over again?

Still reckon it's almost the best film I've ever seen.
