I hope that everyone in the world is aware that the NASA Mars rover Curiosity is due to reach Mars in a matter of hours<\/a>. I am writing this in a brief visit to my office at work, having no electricity at home, and thus no internet. Hopefully I will get back here sometime tomorrow morning, but until then, I will be filled with curiosity\u2026about Curiosity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of you who are able to watch live coverage tonight via TV or online (NASA has \u201ctelevision\u201d coverage via its web page already<\/a>), be grateful for the privilege! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
