NASA Mars rover Curiosity closing in on the Red Planet.

Some time tonight NASA's new rover should be landing on the surface of Mars. I am wondering, what are your guys thoughts on possible things it might find there and how long do you think till NASA's sends the first Humans to Mars?

Here are some links to the story:

It won't find anything except boring rocks.

I'm saying it'll find a lot of rocks, maybe some more traces of water that may or may nor have been there many millions of years ago. No idea about sending humans there, while it is technically possible even today it'll be extremely costly and there isn't any real motivation to actually do it. People aren't as excited about space as they were in the 60s

A one ton nuclear powered tank with a laser that can drill through rock. Gonna go kick some Martian ass.

I'm going to close this, since there's already a thread about the subject, namely:

I'll edit the title of the other thread slightly, to make it a bit more clear about what it's referring to!
