Curiosity is four

And it sings itself "Happy birthday," all alone on Mars, which kind of makes me cry.

Still super cool, though :)

*snif* Oh great, now I'm even sadder...

One day we'll go to Mars, we'll pick up Spirit, power it up and turn it back on.

And that will be an awesome day.

(Either that or it'll go psycho and become The Terminator)

You know there are already companies called CyberDyne and SkyNet, right?

This said, thank goodness the song is in the public domain now.

Awww, poor lil Curiosity! Happy Birthday kiddo!
That video made me laugh so hard.
Scientist Lady: Music brings us all together so this is fun.
NJS: Who are you trying to convince, lady?
LOL

I know, poor thing -- and now with tcpip's cartoon (above) I'm even MORE conflicted lol

Aw, this is so cool/sad.

Four years already! I remember how the Young Man and I sat up to watch the NASA live stream of the landing and cheered along with Mohawk Guy and all the rest of the beautiful nerdy NASA folks. Such fun.

[delphipsmith]

Yes!! We did too, it was so amazing -- all that ratcheting tension and eager hope, and then the huge explosion of joy when everything went right.

Also yeah, Mohawk Guy :)
