To boldly go etc. Options

[lordtup]

Hardly a rant more a commendation of man's endeavour . Just viewed the recent photographs that the NASA beach buggy ,aptly named curiosity , has relayed back from Mars .The mere fact that it took the gestation period of a human to get there , land , and then start photographing everything in sight , really does emphasise a technological achievement of some magnitude .
I know it cost more than the national debt ,will have little or no practical application to our well being but I for one think it's a bit special.

Just waiting for the "local" Martian hoodies to nick the wheels .
