NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover has been on the Red Planet for a long, long time. Back in March it tallied its 2,000th Martian day, which is 2,054 Earth days, and despite some drilling woes that have since been solved, the plucky little rover is still cruising along and conducting experiments in the name of science.
Now, just days after NASA revealed that its new drilling technique works as planned, the agency is calling for a press conference to reveal something special. As always, the group is tight-lipped about what it has in store, but it will be holding its event this coming Thursday, June 7th, to talk all about it.

OK, so the thing that NASA found on Mars is going to hold a press conference to tell everyone...something? This is big news - the first press conference by a Martian. Doesn't even matter what the Martian has to tell everyone - I'll be tuning in.

Just as a reminder. Curiosity had a projected “life span” of two years. It is a bit over 5.5 years now!!
