red Mars in black and white

This whole mission to Mars thing is rather cool. The NASA Curiosity rover gets to tweet. And now it’s sending us pictures.

Time Magazine has also got a photo gallery to bring you up and close to the mini-cooper sized machine that is roving the red planet, searching for remnants of life and, you know, aliens.

NASA is now hip to the social media game and constantly updating on its website. And let us not forget. George W. Bush was a big supporter of NASA’s push toward Mars. Thanks for once, dubya.
