CELEBRATINIG the Mars rover landing mission

Kelley Clarke, left, celebrates at JPL as the first pictures appear on screen from Curiousity. Curiosity is expected to revolutionize deep-space science, not only searching for indications that Mars is or was habitable, but paving the way for the next critical steps in exploration--soil-sample returns, sending astronauts to Mars, even, perhaps, colonization.
