I think it was all a hoax.
There is no way that the rover could have survived the Van Halen radiation belts.

Was that a Freudian slip, or do you know something we don't?

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

HOWEVER,......
Americans ARE the fattest nation, and they DID elect George Bush. So it's not completely unfair.
You have a point about fat people, though.

"The primary goal of Curiosity is to get to the base of Mount Sharp over 6km away."
That''ll really test the rover's ability to navigate and traverse over tricky terrain.
