NASA Prepares to Launch Mars Science Lab Curiosity
NASA PR — It’s launch week for NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), scheduled for liftoff Nov. 26 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The one hour and 43 minute launch window opens at 10:02 a.m. EST. The MSL spacecraft, including the rover Curiosity, is sealed within the protective payload fairing atop the rocket, which is inside the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Launch day weather is predicted to be favorable, with only a 30 percent chance of conditions prohibiting liftoff.

Could it be mars is a ghost of what earth will look like in the future. Isn’t it possible that Mars was once an earth like planet till it’s environment was killed off by it’s inhabitants.
You only have to go to Easter Island to see what man kind has done to destroy it.
And all those statues looking out to sea waiting for help to arrive.
On earth are we able to hold the deserts back. How much land are we losing to the deserts each year. I predict in the future Earth will look like Mars. Maybe we hopped from Mars just as our feet were being scorched. And now we will destroy this new planet we live on. So we have to find another planet to hop to soon. Am I crazy ???
