The name for a partner who is involved in a queerplatonic relationship, as in he's my zucchini.
Curiosity, a rover that's exploring Mars as of 2014, has a top ground speed of 1.5 inches per second, or about 0.1 mph. Curiosity landed on Mars on Aug. 5, 2012.
There are a few other things about Curiosity's atmospheric entry that are different. It is larger than previous missions, and has that unusual tilted angle of descent. It has a relatively high entry velocity of 5.9 kilometers per second.
