Science fun: NASA craft successfully lands on Mars

MSNBC: "The first of NASA's two Mars rovers landed safely on an open stretch within Gusev Crater on Saturday night and sent back screenfuls of black-and-white images, marking a successful start to NASA's first ground-level exploration of the Red Planet in more than six years."

CNN: "A NASA robotic explorer touched down on Mars, sending a signal home that it survived the risky descent through the Martian atmosphere and bounced to a halt. The $400 million rover Spirit, designed to conduct unprecedented geologic and photographic surveys on the Martian surface, transmitted a simple hello to Earth minutes after landing."

NASA: "We're back!"
