I can confirm the final assembly was at JPL. The day I got a brief private tour was a really fun and interesting day. And then pastrami sandwiches at The Hat in Pasadena for lunch....

I never denied that JPL is located in the US or that the MSL is an american led program... well it's a part of Nasa, so it's obviously american.



Go ahead, I'm expecting your 'merica

Guns owned by the United States Armed Forces and Law Enforcement, Four Million.

Guns Owned by the American Public, Three Hundred and Twenty Million and climbing.

Number of guns sold in the United States between November 1st and December 31st 2012 would be enough to arm the military forces of both China and Russia.

65 million guns have been sold between Feb 1st 2009 and today. Who says the President of the United States isn't the greatest salesman in history.

Think about it, in the last four years we bought enough guns to give every person in France a gun.

Sorry, it's not much of a story. I've got a relative who works there, not with any of the Mars stuff. Actually I don't know what the project is since it's not discussed. Some kind of proprietary R&D. I'm nowhere near there, I'm on the east coast. But family met out in SoCal for Thanksgiving that year and we went over for a short little tour one morning. The facility is situated on a hillside for the most part, and looks a lot like a college campus. There is a small museum where models and replicas of probes and landers are displayed. There is a viewing gallery above the work room where the rover was being assembled and we saw that, workers doing science right there before our eyes. I forget the proper term, but the crane that lowered the rover was also in the room, off to the side. The only other thing I really remember was that we went to the mission control building to see if we could get into the viewing gallery for that. My relative wasn't sure if the key card would open the door, but it did, and then wasn't sure if visitors were really supposed to be in there. But we got in and peeked down. There wasn't much activity that day, I suppose it was just a few people monitoring routine activities. We figure the access was logged somewhere but nothing ever came of it. Some family members are older and climbing the hills and stairs was getting to them so we called off the rest of the tour.

Like I said, not much of a story. I wish I could remember more such as 'this building is where such and such happened/was built/designed.' I think one relative took some photos, I'll ask if they have them and maybe I'll get some posted sometime.

Lool ... but why the hell are the americans fighting saudi terrorist in Paris, and how dare you blow up our Eiffel tower?? That pretty much sums up the US vision of france as a defenseless boring country reduced to the sole city of paris ... I think this says a lot about america not caring about anything that happens in the outside world as long it's not unfolding on american soil or involving american lives

"Fake boobs , fuck yeah!"

It seems like Corsica is far from being a heavenly place. Even Jenifer, Alizée's friend, has suffered.

They definitely seem to have more than their fair share. About a month ago, I noticed an article on FB where someone posted an article about the high rate of violence against women in Corsica. I did a little research and found out it was more than what happens in Chicago in this country which is saying a lot. Unfortunately in my attempts to revisit the article, I couldn't find it, but I'll keep looking.
