Love space stuff. Actually got out of work yesterday at 3 and went home and watched them talk about it till the actual landing happened and man, in this fascinating stuff. Early last year you could sign up and have your name engraved on a disc that "supposedly" was installed inside the Rover and sent to Mars, you even got a boarding pass that gave you some info about the flight. Pretty cool to think that mine and my wife's name is out there on Mars right now though.

It’s too bad this didn’t get more news coverage. Everyone is too busy taking political jabs at each other while arguing for $15/hr and elimination of student loans.
