The genii at NASA are at it again.  Planning another mission to mars after the huge successes of Opportunity, Spirit, and Phoenix, they are developing the Mars Science Laboratory Rover and are planning on being able to drop it in a 12 mile circle after a multi-month journey.  These guys are just crazy nuts and it blows my mind to think of these robots cruising around millions of miles away on a desolate landscape where there are NO HUMANS or anything!!! And all to satisfy our curiosity.  I'm really not sure where all this research is going to lead us, but DAMN it's cool!!!!!!!!!
