Just looking forward to it. Be sure I'll be following every single maneuver of it. A special thanks to the @MarsCuriosity Team on Twitter: always kind enough to answer to the followers' questions.

NASA, you lovely people should get Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to do a promo show for Curiosity Rover mission. He's got a real knack for helping the common person to really understand complex scientific scenarios.
