The Case For ‘Curiosity’: Why You Should Stay Up And Watch The Mars Rover Landing

As I write this, NASA's Curiosity rover is hurtling through space as it has been for the past eight months, but that all changes tonight. With any luck (scratch that -- with a staggering amount of luck), that Mini Cooper-sized envoy will survive its tricky seven minute atmospheric entry, after which it will roam the Martian surface conducting a slew of science experiments for nearly two years. It's all arguably important stuff -- what Curiosity finds could be instrumental to understanding the origins of the planet, not to mention that it could help pave the way for a manned mission -- but I have to wonder how many people living in this age of distraction actually give a damn.
