‘It’s a wheel, it’s a wheel!’ – photos of Curiosity’s mission to Mars
NASA’S mission to Mars is go! The mega-millions Curiosity rover is now roving Mars. The first photo beamed back is snapshot of the rover’s shadow. We live in the age of celebrity and self-promotion. You might laugh as the photo is spotted and heralded by the line that will reverberate down generations: “It’s a wheel, it’s a wheel!”

Undated NASA handout image of a Mars Rover. NASA's Mars rover 'Opportunity' managed to climb up and out of the crater that it explored for nearly two months, Monday March 22, 2004, overcoming a slippery slope that left the vehicle spinning its wheels during an earlier attempt. Today's short drive across the sandy inner rim of Eagle Crater placed the rover outside the shallow depression for the first time since it landed on January 24. See PA Story US Mars. PA Photo: NASA.
