After a gut-wrenching 7 minute descent from orbit, NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity touched down on the surface of Mars today, fueling the dreams of space geeks and Sci-Fi fanatics all over the world. In true Buck Rodgers style, the car-sized landed hung from a rocket-powered backpack as it landed on the red planet.
Nobody knows what it will find, but thereminists have a pretty good idea...
If you're inspired by the Curiosity landing, feel free to record your own idea of what the national anthem of Mars might sound like for the Therelympics!
A huge thanks to Dominik Bednarz for creating today's very special site logo!

don't think well be finding anyone from Mars Attacks on the red planet, sorry to say. LOL Funny movie. :)
Plenty of used rovers to select from once you get there. Mileage is a bit high on them though.
