MSL team member Colette Lohr, the Tactical Uplink Lead, provides the latest video update on the Curiosity rover. The rover is at a location fittingly dubbed “Grandma’s House” during the holidays, and there should be many more adventures during 2013.

Thanks… I needed that! GO Curiosity! Yah tah HEYup!
…and my Report # 0001:
Two weeks ago I dreamed that this Mars Rover had
dreamed that it had found a (fossilized) bone, and that the bone had an
inscription on it that said: “A curse on anyone that digs up this weapon
that crushed 27 skulls.” Then the
Rover started to shake and roll towards a cliff and it rolled off the edge.
