Bolden just said their are 4 countries on Mars but he wont tell us who they are?

Lets guess..USA, Russia, China, and Iran??

But you only believe what you see with you eyes is true, in my book, that makes you a sheep.

I don't expect you to understand. So save your breath and don't reply.

simulated fake... fake fake

Curiosity Lands on MarsMonday, August 06, 2012 12:32 AMNASA's Curiosity rover has landed on Mars! Its descent-stage retrorockets fired, guiding it to the surface. Nylon cords lowered the rover to the ground in the "sky crane" maneuver. When the spacecraft sensed touchdown, the connecting cords were severed, and the descent stage flew out of the way. The time of day at the landing site is mid-afternoon -- about 3 p.m. local Mars time at Gale Crater. The time at JPL's mission control is about 10:31 p.m. Aug. 5 PDT (early morning EDT).

Just wondering...How do they know what time it is on Mars??

I follow the evidence, not idiocy.

Good question! I asked on another thread why they did this mission so late at night, it must have something to do with the sun and rotation of Mars to it? My guess.

I guess china would be one, seeing as how they probably manufactured all the components lol

The mission has been going on for 254 days. When plotting a trajectory to mars, the timing of ones arrival relative to earth time is not a priority. The critical constraints are things like the trajectory to the landing site through the atmosphere and possibly the position of any satellites in martian orbit to support relaying signals to earth.
