Spirit's big brother is coming soon. Next week, the day after Thanksgiving, Curiosity is scheduled to launch for Mars. It's about twice the size of Spirit and has MORE POWER. Ten pounds of high grade plutonium, baby. Don't have to worry about dusty solar cells on this one. Let's hope it doesn't blow up on launch.
