NASA's Curiosity Rover Wants Your Vote

TIME magazine has nominated NASA's most technologically advanced rover
yet as one of its nearly 40 candidates for the "Person of the Year"
designation. Describing the sole robotic nominee as the "best car in
the solar system" that captured the attention of millions when it
completed a fraught landing sequence with seamless grace, TIME is
giving readers a chance to cast their vote for the venerable spacecraft.

Visit the TIME poll (http://ti.me/WEZT8y) to cast your vote before
11:59 p.m. on Dec. 12. The people's choice winner will be announced
on Dec. 14.

A real-time ranking of all the nominees, including Curiosity, is
available at
