Casino67 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Foxnews.com: A NASA rover is preparing to boldly go to the surface of Mars -- and the landing has been explained in a video by original Star Trek actor William Shatner. The Curiosity rover is set to land on Mars next Monday, and Shatner and fellow Trekkie Wil Wheaton have each made a video explaining NASA's hardest planetary science mission to date. The videos, called Grand Entrance, guide viewers through Curiosity's planned entry and descent to the surface of the red planet. They are being shared on the Internet and social media, and NASA's aim is to raise public awareness about the mission and the landing. Shatner played Captain James T. Kirk in "Star Trek," while Wheaton portrayed Wesley Crusher in "Star Trek: The Next Generation." NASA said the pair provided their own unique narration to the videos, allowing a wider range of audience to be reached. ______________________________ I will be disappointed if this fails, but not surprised. Seems very complicated and full of reasons to go bad. Will be keeping my fingers x'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Sorry, what did you say? I got distracted by Shatner, the hippest man in the universe and Wheaton, his heir. How did that happen?! Actually, I think this is super cool and I am completely rooting for it. I LOVE the space program. It has, in many ways, defined my generation.
