Mount Sharp of Mars, as seen from Curiosity:

If only Mars had oceans, Admiral Nelson would be there!

Spaceship Submarines!   ;D  Why not?!  The Seaview needs a 21st-century upgrade!

And yes, Richard Basehart's quote came in reference to the "lines" found in scripts for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

But...the payments for the Mercedes had to be made!   0:)

Via the BABlog, a couple of astonishing videos put together from images sent back from the rover prior to landing.

Heat-shield impact: http://youtu.be/crnhjnpgTTo

And this one's top-notch, from the dangling rover just before it lands: http://www.youtu.be/fb8RPbLU9cU


Just like the first commenter on the blog post, and probably thousands of others, I too wished for a view of rover from external stand-point just before it landed... but not this time, sadly.
