I honestly didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the Mars rover landing a couple of weeks ago simply due to being completely and utterly overwhelmed with this whole moving thing, but here are a small handful of neat links that I’ve come across in the last few days when I did have a few free moments here and there…

Next, an Ask Me Anything Reddit thread with a group of scientists and engineers from the mission:

Welcome to Mars, Curiosity – hope your fate is a little better than that of the last rover… 😉
