NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity landed successfully early Monday morning.

CTTechJunkie covered the landing live. We were joined by our own Jay Patterson and Matt Rece who talked about their experiences visiting Curiosity at the Kennedy Space Center ahead of its launch on November 26th. Chris Gephardt from NASASpaceFlight.com also joined us to discuss the implications the successful landing will have on NASA’s future missions.
