The news in space today is pretty much one-sided. The Mars Curiosity rover just touched down on our red neighbor and everyone is eager to get a view of the desolate landscape. As more attempts are made to unravel the mysteries of the planet, people everywhere look on, watching video of the rover as it makes its historic journey.
Monday morning at 1:32 AM eastern U.S. time was the official touch-down. Since then, pictures and video have been transmitted back on a time delay. So far, no Martians have been spotted, nor are they any other signs of life, but the view of Mars, however barren it may be, is one that is unique to our generation.
