Mysteries of Mars to be unlocked: CURIOSITY heading close to it's destination!

This is the ultimate roll-over for Mars, and the biggest of all too! Yeah, it's the Curiosity or Mars Science Laboratory rover termed the S.U.V of Mars. This giant rover is purposed to roam and research a particular crater and confirm the evidence of water and eventually lead us further to confirm that life once existed on the 'red planet'. It was launched on November 26 and is currently continuing it's 8 and a 1/2 months journey and will reach it's destination by August 2012. It will land in the huge Gale crater where it will dig, drill, analyze and do much more!
