Just saw Sky News report about it. They made a point of saying it was a 6 wheeled rover and it was set to land at 6 UK time on the 6th August. That's 666 encoded into it. "7 minutes of terror follows".
Any footage or pics we see will be scanned for anything we are not supposed to see.
We have just sent a NUCLEAR device to Mars, the E.T's may view this as an act of aggression!
Curiosity is being personified on the news, it's tweeting from it's new home. Is this AI. HAL? (2001 Kubrik).
I recall Belzer mentioned in his book that finally in 2012 proof of life on mars would be revealed.
I think I heard the "seven minutes of terror" phrase back when Phoenix landed on Mars. There's really no reason for CTs to find it so ominous. It just means that the signal delay is suspenseful for those involved in the mission. Sheesh.
I'm only going to get excited if they send one back.
