Hopefully, these missions won't have any mishaps ala NASA's previous problems.
Like the newton meters to newton feet miscalc, and the probe blowing itself to bits..

Thre only interesting observation ever made by Maureen Dowd is the similarity of voice characteristics of Marvin the Martian and Alan Keyes.
And that's all I have to say about that.

IIRC the Apollo 10 moon landing rehearsal mission used the Peanuts comic characters as code words for the spacecraft modules.

NASA has had a "naming competition" for the 2 rovers: the results are supposed to be announced this weekend. Off the top of my head, I came up with these - feel free to add more:
Lewis & Clark (as a Brit I don't even know who these guys were, apart from the fact they were American explorers, but they seem very famous on t'other side of the pond)
Daffy & Bugs (please!)
Stanley & Livingston

Martin wanted to blow up the earth because it blocked his view of Venus.
