We're now 45 days from landing, so as of 23 Jun please post all comments related to the end of the transit to Mars here.
Go Curiosity!!!! -------------------- 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.

Since curiosity in italian is LA curiosita' (femminine), MSL is definitely a she.

Since curiosity in italian is LA curiosita' (femminine), MSL is definitely a she. Works the same way in French... -------------------- |

Since English has almost no gendered nouns and Curiosity's drivers are in the county of Los Angeles, it seems that the Spanish gender of la curiosidad (feminine) should govern here.
