It's amazing and not a waste of time. You never know what we will find there and exploration is a fundamental trait of humanity.

I can't believe we are on Mars...crazy.

The photos we've gotten back from Curiosity are just amazing. The other rovers have sent back some great pics as well but these are mind blowing.

I bet you there was no racism or genetically modified foods on mars.

this is truly amazing. prez obama needs to cut back on the military budget & spend more money on nasa.

While I do find this fascinating. I think government funds and efforts should be put to better use. Like rebuilding our economy and creating jobs

i hope they drop off single cell or orgnisms on mars to see what happens.
