NASA's Curiosity the largest Mars rover ever built
MONTREAL - Canadian scientists are keeping their fingers crossed as NASA's Curiosity — the largest Mars rover ever built — heads for a rendez vous with the red planet this weekend.

Not only is it the biggest vehicle ever sent to Mars, but the rover will gather a wealth of images with its multitude of cameras and will search for signs of past or present life
...
On Monday at 1:31 a.m. ET, many eyes will be focused on NASA's unique sky-crane landing system which will be used to lower the $2.5 billion rover onto the Martian soil.

We're no different than the US; don't blame the Army, blame the politicians.

Because the stories I post are gaming related. DarkTower is more your regular news guy.

After the amazing successes of Spirit and Opportunity, I'm really anxious to see what this will discover/contribute.

Don't want to take this off track, but I worked with the French Canadians and maybe that's why I have the impression that I do...

Did you work with the Vandoos? (Royal 22nd Regiment) I did about 6 years with them back in the 80's
