Today marks the final flight of space shuttle Endeavor. It will be flying into LA at 11:30am and landing at LAX at 12:30 after a tour of the sights. Hopefully we'll get to glimpse a view of it coming in to land at the picnic.

Only the Goophone i5 is already on sale in China:

Oppa Gangnam style was also going to be on this week, but due to technical problems, you'll just have to come back next week instead.

NASA's latest Mars rover, Curiosity, recently made a successful landing and sent back some of it's first images:
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-237
NASA also allowed members of the public to participate and put their name on board Curiosity, which I did. Just over 1 million people worldwide also took part:

The landing itself was a complex process which can be seen in this video:
