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.

About a year ago, a bunch of us were swapping you-tube-doubler links that tied the MSL animation to different sound tracks. My colleague Jon ( lead dev for Eyes on the Solar System ) found the inception soundtrack worked perfectly. EPO folk couldn't use it, obviously, but they were certainly inspired by it.

An awesome piece of work by the editing folk.
