I just don't see what is remarkable about getting a Rover to Mars.
I'm pretty sure you could pick up a 25 for about £300, and you only have to get to an industrial estate near Slough. The Rover should be good for that, surely?

For once, the left-ponders managed to keep track of their units, and dropped Curiosity on Mars, on target, on time, and apparently even the right way up. Or as the BBC news team would say: "Well, I am struggling to understand what we are seeing there. All very scientific. No doubt our more scientific viewers will be able to make more sense of it."

Great achievement, I look forward to the photos. Can we send another one so we can see it being lowered through the atmosphere? XKCD typically on form.

Nonetheless, this XKCD will remain, I think, my favourite: I feel sorry for that robot.
