Curiosity touchdown in just under 14 hours

NASA's latest unmanned attempt to land a rover on the surface of Mars could be the most spectacular 6-wheeled robot landing from a space-travelling science lab that's also a jetpack-assisted flying crane (WTF!) that the planet has ever seen, or it could be a(nother) gigantic failure, no doubt with billion-dollar cogs and springs comically flying out all over the show as engineers and science-nerds burst into tears. But surely nobody would try such a crazy-sounding way to deliver a precious rover unless they thought it was safe, right?
Draw what you think the outcome will be for the Mars Science Laboratory and Curiosity rover.
And tune in tonight to see if your prediction came true!
