A Week From Now We'll Know if Curiosity Made It

Hey SPace Placers!

A week from now we'll know if Curiosity made it intact to the surface of Mars. Until then each passing second brings the Mars Science Laboratory - Curiosity - closer to her destiny and fate.

Due to land on August 5th/6th  (PDT/EDT) the latest NASA mission to Mars must undergo quite a trial by fire - literally - to land successfully.

Watch Mars this week in the western sky after sunset and think of Curiosity and wish her well.
