    Dear @MarsCuriosity, Wait a minute. You travelled a 100-million miles in space & hit an area 12x4 miles? Cool. Way better than a hole-in-one

        @neiltyson Not just a 12x4 mile area in space, but also time! @MarsCuriosity aims for a specific space-time window.

        @neiltyson not true! Or maybe true? A hole in one's destiny is decided at the moment of impact. Rover had help along the way. Both are neat.

        @neiltyson @MarsCuriosity Way cooler until they allow telemetry controlled golf balls w thrusters & ground sensing radar to find the hole.

        @neiltyson Hey Neil, going with the golf analogy, put the mars landing into perspective. Is that like a golfer hitting a cm2 spot from...?

        @neiltyson @MarsCuriosity Well, golf balls don't come with any method of steering after the launch. Also, Curiosity is AIMING for sand..
