The most beautiful engineering and art feat so far achieved by Earth. A foretaste of things to come. One day there will be men and women on Mars.

Space and space travel have always fascinated me, even as a child. My mother would say, i wish they would let you go wth them up there, (not because she wanted to det rid of me, or maybe?? LOL), but because i was so enthralled by all of it. Thanks Smithsonian and NASA, for sharing with mus. :) I also believe in the effects of the planets and placements of those planets in one's astrological charts at birth and the powers that the Universe of energy holds. Wish I could have been a "Rocket Scientist" but I'm just not that smart. Go Scientist! Yea!

Read more: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/video/Curiositys-Seven-Minutes-of-Terror.html#ixzz21e8WQrnZ How do we know that a meteorite "originated on Mars"??? Flipantly I ask: Is there a QR code on each rock that zips through space...? This has always puzzled me... Thanks for the response... PS I teach middle school...
