Curious about Curiosity?

On August, 6 2012 at 1:31 am, the National Aeronautics Space Administration, or N.A.S.A, successfully landed the rover Curiosity on the planet mars. Launched on November, 26 2011, Curiosity began its 8 month, 350 million mile journey towards the Martian atmosphere that we all know as Mars. Normally when N.A.S.A lands a rover on the moon it sends a plain old beeping signal that lets them know it landed safely and that everything works fine. With Curiosity however, the signal that was sent to earth to let us to let us know that it landed with everything in working order, was not just a signal, but the very first song (sung by The Black Eyed Peas) to ever be sent to earth from another planet..
