Rock n Roll rules!

Last night around 5:30 GMT the latest Mars rover Curiosity, landed successfully on Mars. These guys and gals know how to dance. They did this with a rocket powered Sky Crane AND made it work. No air bags this time.

This rover is the size of a school bus and is a pretty complete laboratory for determining if life ever (or does) exist on Mars as well as whether we are going to bring it there.
