Mars Curiosity in webcomics
The Mars rover Curiosity made quite a splash when it successfully landed on Mars through its complicated means of landing. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory describes Curiosity as roughly the size of a VW bug and dwarfs the other rovers previously sent out. It also has quite a latency and bandwidth limitation to deal with when communicating with the Rover.
The Curiosity landed successfully and responded to “Pics or it didn’t happen” with a picture of its shadow being cast where it landed.
No photo or it didn't happen? Well lookee here, I'm casting a shadow on the ground in Mars' Gale crater
