If you want to send a postcard to Curiosity on Mars, we now have an address. Sent it simply to Curiosity, Yellowknife, Mars.
That's the name NASA has given to the piece or Earth, er, piece of Mars where the rover landed. It's a salute to a place in Canada.
The pic below is the first full resolution shot from the navigation cameras on top of the extended Curiosity mast. It was released by NASA on Wednesday.
I'm thinking of opening a landscaping business over on the left, or maybe a water works board.

Click to see larger version, and note the Radiation warning symbols on the right. Remember the uproar back in the day
over the first space probe with a nuclear powered engine on it? I didn't hear a peep about Curiosity's power plant. Will
Martians understand what it means? Or will they see it as an attractive black and yellow candy store advertisement?
