We're back on Mars. Curiosity had a safe landing on the red planet early this morning to the cheers of engineers and space geeks everywhere.
Curiosity will now begin its journey in search of whatever it finds - perhaps signs of life - as it travels across the Martian surface.
Because of its size, NASA engineers found new technology and methods to slow the lander from 13,000 mph as it plunged through the atmosphere to 2 mph as it was lowered to to the surface.
Although President Obama congratulated NASA on this achievement. It is well known that the Obama administration has drastically cut the NASA budgeted and ended manned space flight.
Curiosity has already begin transmitting pictures from Mars and will begins its travels after some health check-ups. Curiosity's goals is to look for the essentials of life. More from FoxNews

NBC continues to draw large audiences to its coverage of the 2012 Olympics. Friday and Saturday primetime coverage showed the first signs of weakness and a drifting audience. Audiences for the two nights were the lowest so far for the Peacock's evening coverage.
So far, according to NBC Sports Group president, Mark Lazarus, 194 million people have watched some portion of the Olympics on the NBC owned networks covering the game.
It is destined to become the most watched sporting event in television history. More from MultiChannel News

The Obama administration claims it is the champion of the voters and voter rights. Through the DOJ it has sued several states over Voter ID laws. Laws the Supreme Court has already ruled are constitutional. All of the states that the DOJ has sued have followed the model of the Indiana law that was upheld by the Court. The DOJ continues to claim that Voter ID laws will suppress voting. Election turnout has proved otherwise in those states. A waste of taxpayer money, but we are used to thst in the Obama administration.
The Obama campaign has gone one step further to suppress voting. That's right, suppress voting. The Obama campaign filed a suit against the state of Ohio, a battleground state, to stop a law that will allow members of the military to have a slightly longer period to vote during early voting in Ohio.
Military organizations including the National Guard Association and others have railed against the suit claiming it will suppress voting. In recent polls members of the military are planning to vote against Obama. Does this have something to do with the suit. More than likely it does.
Obama campaign chief David Axelrod claims it is the opposite. The suit is designed to allow everyone in the state the extra time to vote. Axelrod spun this lunacy on Fox News Sunday to an incredulous Chris Wallace. Axelrod, obviously, had not read the suit - typical for a democrat - and continued to say the GOP was spinning it. Wallace tried to bring Axlrod to the reality of military groups opposing the suit, but Axelrod continued to say it wasn't true and for the 100th time in the interview asked why Romney would not release more taxes.

That's it for now
