President Obama Congratulates the Curiosity Team
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/08/13/president-obama-congratulates-curiosity-teamIt's been one week since NASA's Curiosity rover touched down on the surface of Mars and began peeling back the mysteries of the red planet.
Today, President Obama called the team responsible for that success to praise their ingenuity and urge them to continue the good work. "Through your dedicated efforts, "Curiosity" stuck her landing and captured the attention and imagination of millions of people not just across our country, but people all around the world, including Times Square," he said. "And being able to get that whole landing sequence to work the way you did is a testimony to your team."
