        If either Romney or Obama funds a manned mission to Mars, they will have my vote.

                  I definitely watched this. Quite an impressive moment in history. Curiosity is huge!

                    I had my kids watch this with me. They thought the science was kinda neat but kept watching because one of the JPL engineers was named "Fuk Li".

                      With the budget constraints NASA is under it's great to see them still making achievements to be proud of. Come onnnn private industry.

                        ^ The effects of the recent "budget constraints" will be seen in coming years, do you know how long this project has been in the works?

                          The budget for interplanetary exploration missions is separate from crew exploration missions. The budget is still relatively strong for these missions.

                              Here is the picture taken from MRO during EDL.



                              It's so cool seeing actual pictures of the decent.
