Curiosity drills into Mars, collects first ever sample of extraplanetary bedrock
2013-02-11 15:37:04| Extremetech
After a few weeks of preparatory maneuvers, Mars rover Curiosity has finally gathered a sample of Martian bedrock -- the first time an autonomous rover has drilled into the surface of another planet. The sample obtained will now be tested by the rover's on-board science laboratory and will hopefully return evidence of Mars' wet and wild history.
