and land on Mars!  Congrats to the amazing team at NASA!  What an awesome job you guys did.  Super proud to be an American today…but mostly just proud of the human spirit and our desire to seek out new life and new places.  Love it!

With Curiosity now safely on the surface of the Red Planet after last night’s spectacular entry, descent and landing in Gale Crater, NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory begins its planned primary one-Martian-year (98-week) mission of discovery and exploration.
