One of Curiosity’s many wonders is its SAM, which stands for Sample Analysis at Mars. It is, as is described an on-board organic chemistry lab. The Video provides some description of how it works. It also lets you hear the “happy birthday” serenade.

And finally, this video is a 12 minute long animation of how they landed Rover on Mars. Makes me think of transformers.
