The Curiosity rover successfully landed on Mars earlier this week. 
Congratulations to NASA and to all those who worked on the daring and 
controversial new landing system---which apparently worked perfectly. I 
saw a NASA video that mentioned that there was 500,000 lines of code in 
the EDL (Entry, Descent, and Landing) system. Does anyone happen to know 
if there is any Ada on board that spacecraft?
