Tonight, on the planet Mars, the United States of
America made history.
The successful landing of Curiosity – the most
sophisticated roving laboratory ever to land on another planet – marks an
unprecedented feat of technology that will stand as a point of national pride
far into the future.
It proves that even the longest of odds are no match for our unique blend of ingenuity and determination.

Tonight’s success, delivered by NASA, parallels our
major steps forward towards a vision for a new partnership with American
companies to send American astronauts into space on American spacecraft. That
partnership will save taxpayer dollars while allowing NASA to do what it has
always done best – push the very boundaries of human knowledge. And tonight’s
success reminds us that our preeminence – not just in space, but here on Earth
– depends on continuing to invest wisely in the innovation, technology, and
basic research that has always made our economy the envy of the world.
I congratulate and thank all the men and women of
NASA who made this remarkable accomplishment a reality – and I eagerly await
what Curiosity has yet to discover.
