It’s now seven days until NASA launches the new Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity (Yes, that means Nov. 25 when I for one will be in post-turkey and pumpkin pie coma.) Here’s a short clip about the Curiosity rover, including views of what the scientists expect Mars will look like.
Remember earth science teacher Jean Pounder gets to meet with scientists who study Mars and built the rover, and if all goes well weatherwise, she will be there watch the launch.
