Reblogged from I Want Ice Water:
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year or so, you know that the current “big thing” in space exploration is NASA's Curiosity Rover: The Coolest Mars Landing Ever Attempted. What you might not be aware of, however, is that it’s scheduled to make its landing on Mars in just over three and a half days - at at 05:31 UTC (1:31am EDT) on August 6, 2012, to be precise.
Great links and be sure to see the Seven minutes of Terror. Days away from landing...
