NASA's new and improved, nuclear-powered, laser-toting Mars rover has arrived at Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to prepare for its launch towards the red planet this autumn.

The roughly SUV-sized vehicle, formerly known as the Mars Science Laboratory but now officially dubbed "Curiosity", arrived aboard a massive US air force C-17 cargo plane from California where it was manufactured. Along with the machine came the retro-rocket lander craft which will deliver it to the Martian surface by means of cunning lowering tackles, as seen in this rather groovy NASA concept vid.

But then again so neither does.the score of Israel, Libya and Palestine news related articles which you don't complain about. If the News Ed feels the need to remove them.then great so long as other nom-Iranians news are removed.

Dear News Editor,

This piece of news is not directly related to Iran, and there are many more like it in this News section,  I thought one of the criteria for posting news here was its relevance to the events in Iran.  Has that requirement changed, or did I misunderstand it to begin with?  Please post a clarification.  Thank you.
