NASA‘s Curiosity rover has begun its journey into space, the centerpiece of the Mars Science Laboratoryproject. Blasting off at 10:02 am EST from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, the $2.5bn rover will take nine months to travel the 354m miles between here and Mars, complete with an array of scientific instruments along with a nuclear battery to power them all. @Yungjohnnybravo @TatWZA
