Then there is the fact that NASA never actually tested the landing method before sending it over to Mars. Oh, and this bad boy is nuclear powered too. It should last more than a decade.

Man, I'm impressed that they pulled it off. The entire SkyCrane concept was just nuts but I'll be damn, it worked like a champ. Pretty damn awesome. Great work NASA. Good to see that someone in our government can actually do their jobs to an extremely high degree of precision.

Don't forget we are suppose to have a Mars colony by 2023 once you get there, you will be there for life.
One way trip!

Yeah I noticed the guy was thanking Prez Obama earlier tonight.
Building a base on the moon that can sustain humans for any length of time would be much more costly and complicated than sending an unmanned probe to Mars.
