"Touchdown confirmed"

What an excellent feat. Will be very interested to see the data that curiosity can generate, going forward.

Curiosity defied the odds.

Will the next generation claim this was all a hoax?

A truly amazing technological feat! Is there no end to human ingenuity? Meantime I need someone to come and fix my combi boiler. ;-(

[LazyGun]

@heathfield - now come on, there are limits! Journey to Mars + successful landing of curiosity - tricky, but do-able. Combi-boilers, on the other hand - think thats beyond science - you need divine intervention! :)

[heathfield]

I think you've summed it up, LG!

One of the Mars orbiters actually got a picture of Curiosity descending through the Martian atmosphere! Wow!...
