        @neiltyson Surely they put a better camera on Curiosity than a tatty 1.2Mp b&w fisheye.

        @neiltyson As Olympics inspire next gen athletes, JPL/NASA should do for science & engineering. Stunning achievement

        We've been landing rovers on Mars since 1997. Is it still "Bold"? RT @neiltyson Curiosity ... reminder of what it looks like "to boldly go"

        @adrive7 @neiltyson with the current space tech, it sure still is! Especially if you factor in this is the first landing with a sky crane.

        @rlaracuente Skycrane is similar to the LEM landing on the moon in 1969. It just has a rover hanging from it so its more stable than the LEM

        @neiltyson did #nasa not factor in some windscreen wipers when they were designing #curiosity #rover? Like a wet summer's day at Skeggy...

        @frootle there are deployable dust covers on the hazard avoidance cameras; later images should be clearer!

        @marsman2020 @streaky81 Thanks! Of course: camera protection. Good job I didn't design it for #nasa. Look forward to later pics! #curiosity
