As long as the developers got their metric/imperial units straight, this time, there may be a chance ;-) Chris.

Re: [meteorite-list] CURIOSITY POLL VOTE
Has any rover mission crashed and burned? Do we have the smartest minds working over there? Has NASA been successful so far with it's rovers? Does the US have a chance to pass China in overall metals in the Olympics? 100% success one this one On Sat, Aug 4, 2012 at 2:30 PM, Paul Gessler cetu...@shaw.ca wrote: A bunch of my friends are waging bets on whether the mission is a success.

Re: [meteorite-list] CURIOSITY POLL VOTE
Hey Paul, Of course it will work! 100% !!! What seemed to me the easiest point of failure is when it is lowered on the sky crane tether. Worrysome to me was the incredible storm of fine crater silt would be kicked up and get into everything. But remembering the 1% Earth's atmosphere has its benefits, too - so it's important to not terrestrialize the concept too much. The rockets of the descent stage (crane) will be blowing such thin air that it will work! It must! ;-) If you are a Good Wife fan or a Bitcoin fan, this might have been amusing - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=147 ... assuming it isn't a scam, had a bet running that closed on August 1. (the bet the event date of Aug 21, which is the end of the window proposed several months ago) The above bitcoinmoney is 77.6% for a landing success, where success is considered when Curiosity *establishes initial radio contact*. I don't know about the legality of the bet or names of any other bookmakers running it. After Beagle, it would seem to me an appealing bet in the UK to a certain segment. If anyone want's to put some money up instead of beers, there's bound to be a few betting / oddsmaking markets online somewhere.
