Mars Rover Curiosity is cool stuff, it is a robot - it is a big guy.
It is exciting, getting more and more exciting as London 2012.
Total distance traveled = 560 million km.
And the science to get there ?

The exact time taken ?
Departed from Earth: 7:02 a.m. PST, Nov. 26, 2011
Landed on Mars: 10:32 p.m. PDT, Aug. 5, 2012 (1:32 a.m. EDT, Aug. 6, 2012)
Let's convert all to GMT first.

Departed from Earth: 7:02 a.m. PST, Nov. 26, 2011 --> Nov 26 2011 15:02 (GMT)
Landed on Mars: 10:32 p.m. PDT, Aug. 5, 2012 (1:32 a.m. EDT, Aug. 6, 2012) --> Aug 5 2012 17:32 (GMT)
Use wolframalpha to calculate the time difference.
And hence it took 8 months 10 days 2 hours 30 minutes approximately to travel from planet Earth to planet Mars.
It makes me wonder if Pixar's WALL.E is just a coincidence ?
