  • The 10 People You Meet on Mars

    Cats the world over breathe a sigh of relief as Curiosity lands on Mars. What will the NASA rover tell us? What will it find? Dust? Martians? The tattered remains of John Carpenter’s dignity?

Seriously!) the rest of it gives us a pretty good idea as to what we’re looking forward to in the much-anticipated third installment.
