Okay, we're off and running! Please post all comments relating to MSL's transit to Mars here.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I'm a bit concerned about the reported reset of the MSL computer and safemode due to a star tracker. If this reset had happened in the middle of the upcoming trajectory correction burn, originally schedules a week or so post anomaly, wouldn't this have been disastrous? MSL is on a course to miss Mars by 38000 miles. Could it be that the delay of this course correction might have been influnenced by this potentially serioius malfunction? If I'm wrong, please write some words of assurance. Thanks
