my appearance on the show tonight doesn t add you will. that s my point unless you work backwards and compare yourself to the life of an aunt. do you really believe this landing happened? we have a rover on freaking mars right now. get out of here with your 1970s science, china. my worry is they are up there and it well beam a neon thing in the air that is an updating display of how much money we owe. it is a huge thing we see all the time. that would be clever and i would respect their sense of humor. i would say good one, china. you know the first thing the unmanned rover did when it landed on the moon? it got in the passing lane and went down 15 miles an hour slower than the speed limit. i am deeply offended.
know, mitt romney by all accounts is in the final stages of making this decision. we ll know soon enough. shannon: all right. steve hayes, we ll see if he follows the weekly standard s advice. let s hope so. shannon: good to see you. thanks for coming in. all right. you are looking live now at a nasa news conference. it is make or break time for curiosity, the unmanned rover nearing the end of its eight and a half month journey to the red planet, set to land on mars at 1:31 a.m. eastern time monday. nasa is calling the touchdown, quote, seven minutes of terror because it is the most challenging and nerve-wracking landing nasa has ever attended. we re monitoring the news conference and will bring you any developments from that. coming up, some of america s bravest catching waves to prawf their courage, an i thin ins inl story of surfing wounded warriors. t? not at all. that s great. melons!!!
