Hey SPace Placers!
A week from now we'll know if Curiosity made it intact to the surface of Mars. Until then each passing second brings the Mars Science Laboratory - Curiosity - closer to her destiny and fate.

Watch Mars this week in the western sky after sunset and think of Curiosity and wish her well.
