I'm just glad that the damned gubmint didn't have anything to do with the flight.

I'm impressed they didn't crash the fuck out of it.

Gubmint payed for it. Built by LockMart and JPL, neither of which is the government.

If you listen to NASA talk about their goals for Mars, you'll get a healthy dose of both SF and fantasy.

Clearly this project would have eventually been undertaken by Wal-Mart. No need for the government to do anything.

Logistics would be different than those used for normal space travel, that is clearly.

After completing a difficult landing on the Martian surface last week, NASA’s car-sized rover Curiosity has begun deploying its highly advanced cameras and instruments, which will provide the most thorough data on the Red Planet yet. Here are several of its early discoveries:

- A few inches below the layer of dirt on the surface lies another, slightly thicker, layer of dirt
- Internet connection really slow
