So, we now have a nuclear powered SUV on mars. Post pics from it when you can get them as while NASA can fly a billion miles to lower a car via a rocket crane successfully, they can't run a website without it crashing from overload! xD

Also, post links to blogs & stuff from the anti-nuke people who'll undoubtedly bash this as humans polluting another planet with radiation from nukes. :P

That's a great thing. That means that eleventy billion people care about NASA's work. I wish every NASA mission crashed the servers.

You can expect a humorous narrative from me in a few days.
